| Mexico City and Xochimilco | Catedral de San José de Gracia, at Mesones #139, was originally the chapel of the Beatería Santa Mónica, a house for "abandoned" women and poor widows, and then of the Conceptionist Santa María de Gracia convent.

| Old City of Jerusalem | Christ Church: " in 1849 the simple Gothic building was completed. From the outside it differs little from many Anglican churches. However, once inside the building has more similarity to a synagogue than to a local parish church. The communion table and stained-glass windows contain Jewish symbols and Hebrew script, and like all synagogues in Jerusalem, the church faces the Temple Mount", "the church was so Jewish in appearance that in 1948, when it became necessary to prove to a angry Jordanian Army that the unusual building was indeed a Christian house of worship, the then rector Rev Hugh Jones, hurried to the souk to buy an olive wood cross to place on the communion table" | |
| Prague | Church of St. Clement "one of the oldest in Prague. It owes its current appearance to late 19th century rebuilding". Owned by the Czech Brethren Evangelical Church, with Anglican services on Sunday morning. | |

(1876) | |
