1936 CE to 1947 CE

The British enact laws governing the internal affairs of the Church of Cyprus in 1937, in an effort to counteract the leading role played by the clergy in the nationalist movement.

Probably most onerous is the provision subjecting the election of an archbishop to the governor's approval.

The laws are repealed in 1946.

In June 1947, Bishop Leontios of Paphos is elected archbishop, ending the fourteen-year British embarrassment at being blamed for the vacant archbishopric.
