Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe

The Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe is a jurisdiction of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America which includes all its congregations in continental Europe. Along with dioceses in New York, New Jersey, Haiti, and the Virgin Islands it belongs to Province II of the Episcopal Church.
