'''Mozambique''' is a republic located in the part of southeastern Africa that borders many countries including Tanzania to the north, South Africa and Swaziland to the southwest, [[Zimbabwe]] to the west, and Zambia and [[Malawi]] to the northwest. The Orthodox Christians in the republic are under the [[jurisdiction]] of the [[Church of Alexandria]].
While Christians make up almost half of the population of Mozambique, the Orthodox Christian presence is a very small part of the group as evangelistic missionary work had only begun during the past decades. The [[Diocese of Mozambique]] was established by the Patriarchate of Alexandria on [[November 1]], 2006.
