St Paul In Chains Rectory, 170 Rope Ferry Rd, Waterford, CT 06385, US

The church's Web site tells the story of how, in 1831, Lucy Occom Tantaquidgeon and her daughter and granddaughter gave a piece of land to the Mohegan Tribe to build a community church. The women believed that if the Mohegan were to survive in an increasingly white world, the tribe would have to "demonstrate themselves a 'Christianized' people." Today, the church - charming, renovated, serene - serves the tribe and all who live in the area. "We come together to glorify God through worship, engage our faith actively and share with others our Christian beliefs."
