Tension between the Archbishop and the Metropolitan of Paphos
February 3, 2025
Archbishop George strongly criticized Metropolitan Tychikos of Paphos during a session of the Holy Synod regarding behaviors that caused reactions among the faithful. While he did not propose any immediate changes to the administration of Paphos, he expressed the need for a change in mentality within the Church. Metropolitan Tychikos countered that he does not require guidance and expressed a desire to resolve issues through love. The conflicts between them appear to have deeper roots and differing views on church policy.
