Reverend Grigol Appointed New Metropolitan of Chkondidi Eparchy

Reverend Grigol has been appointed the new Metropolitan of  the Chkondidi  Eparchy, replacing Petre Tsaava, says the Archbishop Nicholas of Akhalkalaki. 

“Reverend Petre was not cut off completely. The final judgement will be made at the Holy Synod assembly. Petre has to abandon his current duties and give way to the appointment of the new chief priest”, he adds. 

Petre Tsaava, the now former Metropolitan of Chkondidi, said he was fired from the position of Bishop by the Holy Synod because he submitted incriminating evidence against Patriarch Ilia II. 

He made the relevant statement after leaving the meeting of the Holy Synod of the Georgian Orthodox Church, adding that it was "an unfair decision."
