Eastern Orthodoxy in Uganda refers to adherents and religious communities of Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Uganda. Majority of Eastern Orthodox Christians in Uganda are under ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Eastern Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and all Africa. The founders of Orthodoxy in Uganda were four men, one of them Obadia Basajjakitalo. In the year 1919, they began to send letters all over the world with the questions on Orthodoxy. Father Spartas and his supporters found a priest from the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople who traveled through Africa and baptized and chrismated (anointed) Greek children. He came to Uganda and stayed for about 18 months teaching Father Spartas, Irenaeus Magimbi, Theodoros Nankyama and his friends in Orthodox Faith. It was in the beginning of the 1930s. He advised them to place themselves under the Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria in order to be in Canonical Communion. In the year 1946, Orthodox communities of Uganda and Kenya were accepted to join the Patriarchal Throne in full canonical contact. <ref> Wikipedia contributors, "Eastern Orthodoxy in Uganda", in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Orthodoxy_in_Uganda, accessed 22 March 2020.</ref> | Eastern Orthodoxy in Uganda refers to adherents and religious communities of Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Uganda.
