The Right Reverend '''Nektarios (Kellis) of Madagascar''' was the first [[bishop]] of the [[Church of Alexandria]]'s [[Diocese of Madagascar]].
Born '''George Kellis''' ca. 1953 in Rhodes, he came to Australia early in life, and was raised in Adelaide. He served as a [[priest]] on the Gold Coast, and for the most part of his service in Australia, he was an [[archimandrite]] at St Nektarios Nectarios Monastery, Adelaide.
After a period of time in Adelaide, he felt called to missionary work. He then went to Madagascar and began to evangelise, beginning only with a non-functioning church in the capital. In 1997, Archimandrite Nektarios was elected bishop of the newly-created Diocese of Madagascar.
