Bishop Tyhikos Seeks Legal Action for the Metropolitan See of Paphos

January 6, 2026

Bishop Tyhikos is now seeking legal action to reclaim his position as the Metropolitan of Paphos. Despite earlier assurances to respect the decisions of the Holy Synod and the Ecumenical Synod, he seems unwilling to comply. He claims that his position was legally granted by the faithful of the Paphos Metropolitan District. The situation is expected to develop further in the next meeting of the Holy Synod. Tyhikos is planning to return to Cyprus from Greece soon.
