Former Bishop Tychikos Continues to Reside in Paphos Metropolis

Published January 28, 2026, 12:27

Former Bishop Tychikos continues to reside in a property within the Paphos Metropolis, despite his removal from the Metropolitan throne. His salary has been reduced by 50%, as is the case with all clergy placed on leave. He has been offered an apartment at the Archbishopric but declined it due to the condition of resuming episcopal duties and submitting a declaration of faith. The Archbishopric emphasizes that great patience and tolerance have been shown towards him, while considering protests about his salary reduction and potential eviction from the Metropolis property to be unreasonable.
