Institutionele geschiedenis

St. James Church was founded by several Americans in Florence, Italy in 1850 after the Tuscan parliament passed legislation permitting churches of other denominations. It was officially recognized in 1867.

The Church was originally meant to be a place of worship and community for English speaking people in Italy, but has moved to become a multilingual and multicultural congregation.

While St. James is a member of the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe, it maintains its own Board of Trustees. Together, the three boards (which also includes St. Paul’s Within-the-Walls in Rome, Italy) manage endowments for the churches in the convocation.
