Administrative history
The history of the Convocation of American Churches in Europe (ACIE) goes back to 1859, when an American Episcopal congregation in Paris, France, was recognized by the Episcopal Church as a parish. Today, ACIE comprises churches, mission congregations, and specialized ministries in seven countries throughout Europe and falls under the jurisdiction of the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church.
The original mission of the Convocation was to minister to English-speaking people in Europe. Today it is a multinational, mulitracial, multilingual, and multicultural communion within the European Union.
