Speaking on television, Archbishop Chrysostomos said that the issue of prohibiting the presence of people during Church services will be discussed by the Holy Synod on Tuesday. Until then priests will have to obey the orders of the government not permitting physical presence at churches
He also revealed that he has contacted the Bishop of Morphou who denounced the measures saying he refuses to lock out church faithful but that he was unable to change his mind.
Regarding the contact he had with the President before the announcement of the new restrictive measures, he said that the President informed him that since there are priests who do not obey, he has no other option.
