Quick Glance: Bishop's Premonition and Stabbing Incident

A well-known Sydney bishop, stabbed during a sermon, had been warned of a potential attack on his life in recent weeks.

The attack on Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, allegedly by a 15-year-old, occurred at the Christ the Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley on Monday night following a sermon where the bishop mentioned that his death was imminent.

The bishop clarified that his potential passing would not be an attempt to escape or avoid life, but rather a conscious desire to be with God.

A 15-year-old boy was arrested after the attack on the bishop and three other men during a service at an Assyrian Orthodox church in Sydney's southwest. The bishop was taken to the hospital with multiple stab wounds and is currently in stable condition.

An unusual East Coast earthquake startled millions from New York to rural New England. Over 42 million people may have felt the midmorning quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8.

While causing no widespread damage, the earthquake led to evacuations in Newark, New Jersey, and infrastructure inspections across the region. Flights were diverted, trains slowed, and tunnel traffic stopped.

Although no major damages were reported, the earthquake caused some disruptions. The area near the epicenter experienced minor effects, including the collapse of a historic site. There were also over a dozen aftershocks reported in the region.

President Joe Biden offered assistance, while New York City reported no major safety or infrastructure issues. Engineers emphasized that New York skyscrapers are made of high-strength materials and designed to sway slowly to withstand impacts. Even the delicately placed eggs in a sculpture at a Chinatown art gallery remained unharmed during the quake.
