The Situation of Bishop Tychikos and the Need for Faith Confession Signature

October 29, 2025

The continuation of Bishop Tychikos in his position depends on his signature on a specific document that acknowledges the decisions of the Ecumenical Councils. So far, the document, which includes full acceptance of the Council of Crete, has not been signed. The Archbishop of Cyprus and the Holy Synod are preparing for the election of a new Bishop of Paphos, while Tychikos's situation remains uncertain. There is active discussion regarding his intentions and the need for a quick recovery. Church sources emphasize that signing the document would determine his standing within the Church.
