Departure of Two Clergymen from the Paphos Metropolis
June 12, 2026
Two clergymen from Paphos left the Metropolis to avoid commemorating the new Metropolitan Gregory. They sought refuge in the Metropolis of Limassol, where they will now commemorate Metropolitan Athanasios. Until recently, these clergymen had been commemorating the acting Metropolitan Tychikos and seemed to struggle with the directive to honor the new Metropolitan. The new Metropolitan Gregory signed the necessary documents to facilitate their transfer. Their decision appears to be related to differing views on the new leadership of the Metropolis.
