He held the positions of Bishop of Larnaca and Archbishop of Cyprus (1909–1916), and was also a member of the Legislative Council.

As a metropolitan of Kyrenia, he made significant efforts to persuade the Linobabakoi (Christians who had converted to Islam) to rejoin the church.

Their antagonism flared after the British Crown Commissioner, Sir Charles Harman, passed a law regulating the election of the Archbishop, in 1907.

The disagreement between the two Cypriot prelates eventually involved the Eastern Orthodox Patriarchates of Constantinople, Jerusalem and Alexandria.

After he gave up as Archbishop he became president of the Greek Educational Institutions in Cyprus, a post he held until his death in 1916.
