Former Paphos Metropolitan Tychikos to Seek Legal Recourse for Reinstatement

Former Metropolitan of Paphos Tychikos has informed the Holy Synod of the Church of Cyprus of his intention to seek legal recourse to reclaim the Metropolitan seat of Paphos. In his letter, he states that the seat was lawfully granted to him through an electoral process. The Holy Synod will discuss the matter at its next session on Thursday, January 8th, along with a proposal to amend the Church's charter, so that Metropolitan and Bishops are elected by the Synod and the Archbishop by the people.
