Archbishop Georgios will announce the elections for a new Bishop of Paphos immediately after Easter. Former Bishop Tychikos continues to assert his rights despite the Holy Synod's decision to suspend him. He has filed an appeal with the Ecumenical Patriarchate against this decision. His issues with the Holy Synod include ordinations and policies regarding marriages and baptisms. A new decision from the Archbishop is expected concerning Mr. Tychikos' situation.
