Metropolitan Tychikos Appeals to the Ecumenical Patriarchate
June 5, 2025
Metropolitan Tychikos has appealed to the Ecumenical Patriarchate after the decision of the Holy Synod of the Church of Cyprus to suspend him from his duties. This appeal halts the Synod's decisions until the Patriarchate makes a ruling. Consequently, Tychikos remains the Metropolitan of Paphos, and the election process for a new metropolitan is suspended. This development also results in the cessation of the Archbishop of Cyprus's oversight of the Metropolitanate of Paphos.
