The Synod of the Church of Cyprus supported Archbishop Chrysostomos' decision to recognize the OCU.
This is stated in the Communiqué of the Synod of the Cypriot Orthodox Church. Religious Truth reports this information while referring to churchofcyprus.org.
"At its meetings on November 23 and 25, 2020, the Holy Synod of the Church of Cyprus discussed in detail the issue of the Ukrainian Church and the difficult situation brought about when His Beatitude Archbishop Chrysostomos mentioned Epiphanius as the Primate of the Ukrainian Church. Although the Synod chose not to oppose His Beatitude's decision, it expects an open and extensive discussion to overcome the current crisis which threatens to split Christ's Church," the statement says.
After the meeting, Metropolitan Nikephoros of Kykkos said that the decision to recognize the OCU was made with ten votes against seven, though being a "matter of faith", it is not a binding one. The Metropolitan's own compromise proposal was left without support.
