The Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe (formerly the Convocation of American Churches in Europe[1]) is a jurisdiction of the United States–based Episcopal Church created in 1859 by an action of its general convention. The convocation includes all Episcopal congregations in continental Europe. Along with dioceses in New York, New Jersey, Haiti, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands it belongs to Province II of the Episcopal Church.
The Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church has jurisdiction over the convocation but oversight is delegated to a bishop in charge. On April 6, 2019, Mark Edington succeeded the Right Reverend Pierre W. Whalon as bishop in charge, in a consecration and installation ceremony presided over by the presiding bishop, the Most Reverend Michael Curry, at the American Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Paris.[citation needed]
The convocation currently has an institutional presence in eight European countries: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and Georgia.
