Metropolitan Nikephoros of Kykkos served the Cypriot Primate who memorializes Epifaniy Dumenko

On July 30, 2023, Metropolitan Nikephoros of Kykkos and Tiliria served with Metropolitan George, the head of the Cypriot Church, despite the commemoration of the schismatic Epifaniy Dumenco at the liturgy, according to orthodoxoxtimes.com source.

It is known that earlier it was Metropolitan of Kykkos who expressed harsh criticism of the head of the Cypriot Church because of his recognition of the OCU and therefore refrained from serving with Metropolitan George.

The Kykkos hierarch stated that the joint liturgy of Metropolitan George with Dumenco is fraught with the risk of schism for the Cypriot Church.
