A man stabbing Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel during a church service at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Sydney on April 15.SYDNEY — An Assyrian bishop who was stabbed during a service at his Sydney church said on Thursday he was recovering quickly and that he had forgiven his attacker.
"I am doing fine, recovering very quickly... there is no need to be worried or concerned," Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel said in an audio message posted on social media, his first public comments since the attack. "I forgive whoever has done this act... I will always pray for you and whoever sent you to do this, I forgive them as well."
