Synodic Court Removes Two Clergymen from Tamasos Metropolis

The Six-Member Synodic Court has decided to remove Archimandrite Barnabas Chrysanthou and Deacon Raphael Misiaoulis, clergymen of the Holy Metropolis of Tamasos, from their positions. The decision, reached by majority vote, entails their return to the ranks of monks due to canonical offenses.

The Court's decision followed a review of the investigative committee's report, testimonial evidence, the ecclesiastical prosecutor's charges, defense witnesses, and the defendants' statements.

The President of the Six-Member Synodic Court was the Metropolitan of Kiti Nektarios, with members including the Metropolitans of Lemesos Athanasios, Morphou Neophytos, Constantia and Ammochostos Vasileios, Trimithountos Barnabas, and the Bishop of Arsinoe Pangratios.
