  • Orthodox wiki, katsottu 15.3.2025 (Metropolis of Nairobi: The Holy Archdiocese of Nairobi and All Kenya is a diocese in eastern Africa under the jurisdiction of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and All Africa. It was founded in November 28, 1958 ... Until 1971, its seat was in Dar es-Salaam, Tanzania, when it moved to Nairobi, Kenya. The bishopric was originally named Archdiocese of Irinoupolis and East Africa, and comprised churches and missions in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. In 1992, Western Tanzania received its own bishopric, the Diocese of Bukoba, under the Archdiocese of Irinoupolis. After a long period of vacancy, it received the name Archdiocese of Kenya and Irinoupolis with the election of Abp Irenaeus in 1994, when it lost its territory in Uganda to establish the Archdiocese of Kampala. In 1999, it lost its territory in Eastern Tanzania to establish a new Archdiocese of Irinoupolis in Dar es-Salaam and was renamed Archdiocese of Kenya and East Africa. It received its current denomination under Abp Makarios in 2015 with the founding of the dioceses of Nyeri and Kisumu.)
