The Church of Cyprus will change its main rules. They decided this on Wednesday. The church wants to be more modern. Old rules were not clear. This made it hard to follow church law. A special group will write new rules. This group has church members and lawyers. They will work for some months.
There are reasons for the changes. Bishop Tychikos and Archbishop Georgios had arguments. This showed rules needed to be clearer. The Archbishop will manage Paphos for now. This is a short time. It will help write new rules.
The church also looks at how bishops are chosen. They might let the Holy Synod choose bishops. This is a new idea. It could change church leaders.
Two monks have serious charges. Monks Nektarios and Porfyrios are accused of stealing money. They will not be forgiven. They are already out of the church. Now, they will go to court.
Weddings can now happen before Christmas. This is until December 12th. People have more wedding choices. The church will also write songs about Cyprus. These changes help the church stay strong.
