Tychikos and the Statement of Faith He is Asked to Sign
November 6, 2025
The Bishop of Paphos, Tychikos, is asked to sign a statement of faith provided by the Holy Synod. This statement includes the recognition of all Ecumenical Councils, including the 2016 Council in Crete. He faces difficulties in signing it, mainly due to his connections with those who have separated from the Church. He will also declare obedience to the decisions of the Holy Synod and accept the sacred tradition of the Orthodox Church. This situation has sparked various discussions and reactions.
