The Holy '''Archdiocese of Nairobi and All Kenya''' is a [[diocese]] in eastern Africa under the [[jurisdiction]] of the Greek Orthodox [[Church of Alexandria|Patriarchate of Alexandria]] and All Africa. It was founded in November 28, 1958, the feast day of [[Stephen the New|Saint Stephen the New]], and the future Patriarch Nicholas VI was elected as its founding bishop the following year.  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. 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 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.
