Secretary of Synod of Cypriot Orthodox Church, Metropolitan George of Paphos, published a circular on November 15, 2022, regarding the procedure for electing the Primate of the Church of Cyprus, reports the Greek website Romfea.
The circular says that all bishops of the Cypriot Church, who wish to run for the Primate, must present their candidacies by 22 November 2022. In accordance with this, a special ballot paper will be created with the photographs and names of the candidates.
Thereafter, all Orthodox Christians who have resided in Cyprus for a year or more, whether or not they are citizens of the Republic of Cyprus, can cast their vote for one of the candidates.
The Holy Synod will then choose one of the three metropolitans who receive the highest number of votes to become the Primate of the Church of Cyprus.
As reported, the funeral of Archbishop Chrysostom was presided over by the head of the Phanar.
