__NOTOC__
 The Holy '''Holy Metropolis of Singapore''', headquartered in Singapore, is an [[eparchy]] of the [[Church of Constantinople]]. The Metropolis was established in January 2008 to encompass Singapore, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Maldives Islands, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka.
==History==
On [[January 9]], 2008, the [[Holy Synod]] of the [[Church of Constantinople]] decided to divide the western part of the [[Orthodox Metropolitanate of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia]] from the eastern part, thus forming the Holy Metropolis of Singapore which extends further west to encompass South Asia. At that time, the [[Synod ]] did not select a [[bishop ]] for the new metropolis. On [[November 3]], 2011, the Holy Synod elected the [[Protosyngellos]] of the Metropolis of Hong Kong, Archimandrite Constantine (Tsilis) as the first Metropolitan of Singapore.<ref>http://romfea.gr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9735:eklogi-mitropolitpon&catid=13 Romfea.gr "Election of new Metropolitans to the Ecumenical Patriarchate"</ref>  The Episcopacy
