>Convocation a home for Europe's Christians

>By Matthew Davies

[Episcopal Life] In Europe, there's no such thing as an average
Episcopalian, and it may not be the most obvious place you'd expect to
find a group of Episcopal congregations. But the Convocation of
American Churches in Europe ministers to a unique and culturally
diverse demographic of Christians throughout Austria, Belgium, France,
Germany, Italy and Switzerland.

Charité Nrusi, for example, fled from Rwanda during the genocide in
the mid-1990s. She since has settled in western France, where she
joins other Rwandan refugees at the Mission Saint Emmanuel in Rennes.

The Rev. Dorothee Hahn, a German native and former lawyer, is
assistant rector at Church of the Ascension in Munich and vicar of
mission congregations in Augsburg and Nuremburg.
