The Holy Synod is still waiting for Bishop Tychikos to contact the Church and arrange tο fulfill the obligations he has been assigned, Archbishop Georgios said on Wednesday during a visit to the Palestinian Embassy in Nicosia. The embassy hosted a symbolic event to mark the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
Asked whether he had any information on whether Bishop Tychikos has returned to Cyprus, the Archbishop replied that he did not. “He has not notified us at all,” he said, adding that Tychikos is expected to reach out when he is back on the island.
“We are waiting for [Bishop Tychikos] to communicate so he can settle the obligations assigned to him by the Holy Synod,” he said, reiterating that they remain pending until the bishop contacts the Church.
