Two gay men who had been attending church for a long time were banned from visiting the temple
Theodor Kyriakou, a Cypriot theologian, complained on social media that a same-sex couple, who had been attending a church in one of the monasteries in Cyprus every Sunday for many years, recently received a ban on visiting the church. The administration sent them an email calling them "undesirable elements."
Kyriakou stated that the temple is under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Cyprus, and the reason for the expulsion was the information that the two men are homosexual and live together.
The theologian condemned this action and emphasized: "Temples are not the property of the monks. Priests have no right to prevent pilgrims from visiting."
