__NOTOC__
The '''Holy Metropolis of Singapore''', headquartered in Singapore, is an [[eparchy]] of the [[Church of Constantinople]]. Currently vacant, this [[see ]] 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. As yet, the metropolis has not had a bishop elected to lead it.
== The Episcopacy ==
This see is currently vacant.
:*Archimandrite [[Daniel (Toyne)]] is the sole [[priest ]] in Singapore.:*Rev Fr [[Chrysostomos Manalu]] is the archepiscopal [[vicar ]] for Indonesia.
Rev. Chrysostomos Manalu is a graduate of the Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece (1995). Fr. Chrysostomos has taken many underprivileged children under his care as more and more of the Indonesian people sink into poverty. He provides them with room and board, food and schooling. A women medical center, Theological school (St. Paul Theological School) and a boarding house are also in the works in order to better serve the needs of the area.
