Emmanuel Episcopal Church, located in Geneva, Switzerland, is an English speaking Episcopal parish of the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe, and a member of the Anglican Communion. The church has previously been known as "The American Church" (and informally as "The American Chapel"),[1] but this designation was abandoned in 1977 in the light of the decreasing American participation in the congregation.[2] In December 1924 the church was established as a charitable foundation under Swiss law: La Fondation de la Chappelle d'Emmanuel.[3]
