The Archbishop-elect of Sydney Anthony Fisher has used his first address to call for harmony in the wake of the counter-terrorism raids.

The outgoing Bishop of Parramatta Anthony Fisher said we live in “troubled times” and called on “people of faith” to show calm, restraint and wisdom.

“Right now in Sydney we face some big issues about harmony,” Fr Fisher said. “That’s an issue right around the world at the moment.

“As a religious leader though I think people of faith have something very important to do and to say at the moment. [These are] troubled times in our world and even in our own city. We need to bring some calm and some restraint and some wisdom at this time.
