The Holy Synod Refuses to Accept Metropolitan Tychikos
April 17, 2026
The Holy Synod has decided not to accept Metropolitan Tychikos into the hierarchy of the Church of Cyprus. If he violates its decisions again, his removal may become necessary. Tychikos has been tolerated, but if he initiates legal actions, the Holy Synod is ready to respond. He will not be accepted under any circumstances, even if he signs a declaration of repentance. The current situation calls for drastic measures to protect the Church.
