Former Bishop of Paphos to Seek Legal Action for Reinstatement

The former Bishop of Paphos, Tychikos, has informed the Holy Synod of the Church of Cyprus of his intention to take legal action to reclaim the Metropolitan seat of Paphos. He believes the seat was legally granted to him through an electoral process. The Holy Synod will discuss the matter at its next meeting, while also considering changes to the constitutional charter regarding the election of Bishops and the Archbishop.
