It was an honour to gather with the religious leaders of Sydney this morning at St Marys Cathedral, as we prayed for the victims and hostages of the Martin Place siege and for peace in the world. All of us know the importance of peace. It is at the heart of our faiths. We prayed today for eternal peace with God for those who have died. And after a time of disturbance in our city we want to give common witness to our belief that genuine religion promotes peace, not division. We join together in repudiating hatred and violence. We salute and pray for each other the Peace of God which is beyond all understanding. And we affirm in common: God, the Holy, the Divine, the All Powerful, the All Merciful, wants peace.
