On January 6, 2021, the head of the Cyprus Church, Archbishop Chrysostomos II, discussed the formation of the Patriarchal Exarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church in Africa with the Patriarchs of Constantinople and Alexandria in a telephone conversation. The Archbishop told ageliaforos.com about this during his speech after the Consecration of Water in Larnaca, SFU writes.

The archbishop condemned the decision of the Russian Orthodox Church: “I consider this the greatest mistake of Moscow.”

“I talked with the Ecumenical and Alexandrian Patriarchs, and we have already done something that is not the time to announce now,” Chrysostomos said.

Earlier it was reported about the death of one of the Kenyan Orthodox clerics in an accident.
