This article considers the position of “African” immigrants in several French urban Catholic parishes as they undergo the processes of resistance or regularisation within the organisational framework of responsibility attribution. The construction of community takes on different forms as the charismatique parishes favour the expression of faith while the Action Catholique parishes encourage political solidarity. Beyond these diverging orientations, two themes concerning the formation of identity are distinguished: the first is defined by the missionary quest where the actor is viewed through history, the second, by a more subjective quest of individual trajectory.
