It was the second reported mass stabbing in just three days in Sydney after six people were killed in a knife attack at a mall in the Bondi area.
Officers arrested a man and took him to an undisclosed location following the attack in Wakeley, about 30 km (18 miles) west of Sydney's central business district.
A large crowd quickly gathered outside the church after the attack, throwing rocks at police and demanding they bring out the perpetrator, according to two witnesses.
Police fired pepper spray as they pushed back people onto nearby streets, according to a Reuters journalist. More than 100 police officers were ultimately called in to deal with the unrest, and two were taken to hospital with injuries.
Monday's attack happened during a service at an Assyrian church called Christ The Good Shepherd Church.
Videos of the incident circulating online showed the bishop of the church, Mar Mari Emmanuel, standing at the altar of the church and speaking to worshippers as another man wearing a black jumper walks towards him and attacks him.
Horrified members of the congregation scream as the man stabs the priest several time in the chest, the videos show.
The church streamed the sermons live on its social media page. The motive of the attack is unknown.
The church said in a Facebook post that Emmanuel and a priest, Father Isaac Royel, were among the injured.
"We ask for your prayers at this time. It is the Bishop's and Father's wishes that you also pray for the perpetrator," the post said.
The wounded suffered non-life threatening injuries and were being treated by paramedics, police said.
The New South Wales ambulance service said at least four people were injured including a man in his 50s who was taken to hospital in a serious condition.
"There was so much anger because the bishop is loved by them, he's loved by myself as well, he preaches about the Lord and we love the Lord,” said a local resident who gave her name as Canny, and who saw the bishop put in an ambulance.
Emmanuel was ordained a priest in 2009 and then a bishop in 2011, according to the church's website. The bishop appears to be a popular figure on social media, with clips of his sermons garnering millions of views on platforms including TikTok.
Emmanuel became well known for his hardline views during the pandemic, local media reported at the time, with the bishop describing COVID lockdowns as "mass slavery".
A recent sermon posted online by fans shows him claim the United Nations was founded by Satan.
The attack drew condemnation from figures in the city's Jewish and Muslim communities.
The Australian National Imams Council said the attacks were "horrifying and have no place in Australia, particularly at places of worship and toward religious leaders".
"Extremely concerning scenes at a Sydney church," the Australian Jewish Association said in a social media post.
"Our thoughts are with our Assyrian friends."
New South Wales state Premier Chris Minns said in a social media post: "It's important that the community remain calm and continue to listen and act to the directions of Police and Emergency Services."

This is the prick who done it. Also there's a longer version of the clip where you can hear the attacker yell out "Allahu Akbar" right at the end. Says a lot for the motive..

Muslim that acted alone, in the aftermath video : https://twitter.com/ValuetainmentTV/status/1779839631200067619
he is interrogated by the priest(?) I speak arabic and here is a transcript
Priest : Christian ? Christian ? Do you speak arabic ?
Guy : Yes (on the speaking arabic)
Priest : Are you christian ?
Guy : No
Priest : who sent you ?
Guy : I came on my own, because he insulted my religion, if he didn't insult my prophet and only spoke about his religion i'd not have come, but he doesn't
Guy no top of him : what's your religion ? what's your religion ?
Guy : Islam
Priest : pats his head and keeps saying ''your satan begone'' or something like that
rest is in english
it's true cause the orthodox bishop did many videos debunking islam from a christian perspective so

The four fingertips on his right hand are gone 100%, as shown in the second vid
They would've simply got to him before police were called and had arrived - only talked to the guy who was there briefly - he said guys at the church chopped them, but it could've been self-inflicted with the penknife slipping through his closed fist
I've been following it and here's the useless retard in the church toilet all bandaged up under police protection while the community were outside demanding he be handed over to them:

So in your logic if someone makes an attempt to debunk something and “some retard” believes it, then it's automatically a debunk?? If someone attempts to kill someone and “some retard believes” it was an actual kill/assassination then the attempted murder attempt automatically becomes a murder?? When you wrote “some retard” you just described yourself 💀

You can't multiply different people or entities that are apart from each other/not the same. Therefore it becomes + and not x. The 3 musketeers are part of 1 trio, but all 3 individually make part of the trio. This also makes it 1+1+1(=3) and not 1x1x1

A Christian leader has been stabbed multiple times during a church service in Sydney's West tonight, with the attack broadcast live on YouTube.
It comes just two days since a man armed with a knife murdered six people in a Sydney mall.
The Daily Telegraph reports the incident at Wakeley's Christ The Good Shepherd Church occurred shortly after 7pm (9pm NZT).
The church service was being live streamed on the church's YouTube page.
Screams could be heard as other worshippers rush to the bishop's aid as he fell to the floor. It's understood at least two worshippers were also stabbed in a resulting confrontation.
NSW Police have been approached for comment.
The Australian Jewish Association says the victim was Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel.
Graphic video of the incident shows a man dressed in black approaching the Bishop and stabbing him multiple times in the head, neck and back.
Churchgoers can be seen rushing to the victim's aid.
Daily Mail Australia said Christ The Good Shepherd Church had almost 200,000 subscribers on YouTube.
9News has reported up to four people have been injured in the attack.
Multiple police and ambulance crews allegedly raced to the scene.
The injured include four men believed to be aged in their 60s, 50s, 30s, and 20s.
It comes just two days after Joel Cauchi, 40, stabbed six people to death and wounded at least 12 others in a knife rampage at the Westfield Bondi Junction mall.
He was shot dead by a police officer after lunging at her with a knife.
He killed Dawn Singleton, 25, Ash Good, 38, Faraz Ahmed Tahir, 30, Jade Young, 47, Pikria Darchia, 55 and Yixuan Cheng, 27.
Yesterday police described Cauchi's troubled past. He had a history of mental health treatment and was diagnosed with schizophrenia as a teenager. Police also said he was estranged from his family.
“I'm loving a monster,” the attacker's father Andrew Cauchi told Australian media. “To you, he's a monster but to me, he was a very sick boy.”
