Ex-Metropolitan of Paphos, Tychikos, stirred controversy by declaring he had seen Apostle Paul in a vision and repeatedly found bible passages about Christ's trial. His public statements came after being suspended by the Holy Synod, citing his refusal to comply with set terms and his intentions to appeal to civil courts in Cyprus and Europe. This issue transcends simple procedural conflict and touches on the core of ecclesiastical responsibility. Tychikos’ assertions connect his case to divine experiences, questioning the line between personal faith and institutional ethos.
