Fr. Simon Peter Nellist was the retired Archpriest of Tanzania and the Seychelles. His Mission Centre is based in Kidamali, a small village on the Iringa plateau some 500 kms south west of Dar es Salaam and 40 kms from Iringa. The mission serves 30+ villages in the area and is primarily child focused, providing a feeding programme, health care, education and clean water. Malnutrition is now rare in the mission area but the feeding programme allows access to check the children’s general health and welfare. Further details can be found on their website – orthodoxtanzania.com. Fr. Simon also served in Cyprus and the Archdiocese in England. He was Treasurer of this charity and was a professional accountant in many countries before entering the priesthood. He was also the Orthodox Patron for the Animal Interfaith Alliance. Sadly, Fr Simon died on 29th May 2023, but we know he is still with us in spirit. Memory Eternal!
