Religious Leaders call for calm

Date

Spread the love

This evening at 10:30pm I convened a meeting of faith leaders representing religious communities across Western Sydney.

All of the following community leaders endorsed and supported a unanimous condemnation of violence in any form, called for the community to follow first responder and police instructions and called for calm in the community.

We’re calling on everyone to act with kindness and respect for each other. 

Now is the time to show that we are strong and united as a NSW community.
