[01] HOLY SYNOD - ACTING PRIMATE - FANARI
The Holy Synod, the highest body of the Church of Cyprus, has decided
by majority that the acting primate of the Cyprus church, Pafos Bishop
Chrysostomos, should visit Wednesday the Eucumenical Patriarch
Vartholomeos in Fanari, Constantinople (Istanbul).
Bishop Chrysostomos will convey to Vartholomeos the decision of the
Synod that it is not prepared to discuss changes to its Charter at next
week`s meeting in Geneva, called by the Patriarch to discuss the
replacement or not of Cyprus` ailing Archbishop, who has been
incapacitated for the past four years.
``If the Eucumenical Patriarch Vartholomeos does not give the necessary
assurances that issues of the Church of Cyprus` Constitutional Charter
will not be raised, there is no point in the majority of the Holy Synod
going to Switzerland``, Pafos Bishop Chrysostomos said.
