Crosses adorn the roof of the Christ the Good Shepherd Church in Sydney’s western suburb of Wakeley on April 16, 2024. A Sydney bishop brutally stabbed during a live-streamed sermon said Thursday he is recovering and forgives his attacker, declaring: “You are my son.”Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was slashed in the head and chest by a 16-year-old suspect on Monday, sparking a riot by followers of the Assyrian Christian church in western Sydney.

Emmanuel has an online following of almost 200,000, courting controversy with his criticism of Covid-19 vaccines, lockdowns and Islam.“There is no need to be worried or concerned,” the bishop said in a YouTube video released Thursday, with audio of his voice accompanied by a photo of him in vestments.

A western Sydney doctor who is in contact with the teenager’s family told AFP they were in “shock” and “disbelief about the horrible action their son has done”.
