On November 30, 2022, a divine service was held at the Phanar, in which, in addition to the patriarch and hierarchs of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, Metropolitan Isaiah Tamassos of the Church of Cyprus, as well as the "archbishop" of the OCU Agapit Humeniuk participated. The service was broadcast by the EPT3 channel.
Let us remind you that Metropolitan Isaiah was one of the most principled hierarchs of the Church of Cyprus who opposed the recognition of the OCU. Earlier, he even refused to concelebrate with the Primate, since the name of schismatic Sergei Dumenko was mentioned at the liturgy. Now he is one of the favorites for the post of head of the Church of Cyprus.
