Voices @ Alive Podcast - 2026-5-29

🎙️ On Voices@Alive, I had the pleasure of speaking with Clive Buultjens about Explore Faith Week, an initiative supported by Archbishop Kanishka Raffel that invites people from all cultures and backgrounds to explore faith through conversation, community events, and shared experiences.

Our discussion focused on the importance of belonging, intercultural inclusion, and creating welcoming spaces where people feel comfortable asking questions and learning from one another. We also spoke about upcoming events, including the International Food Night and Prayer Night at St John's Cathedral, Parramatta.

Throughout the interview, Clive highlighted the importance of dialogue, understanding, and building relationships across cultures. He spoke about creating spaces where people feel safe to ask questions, explore beliefs, and engage in respectful conversations regardless of their personal faith journey.

One of the strongest messages from the interview was that faith should never be approached through assumptions or stereotypes. Instead, people are encouraged to learn, ask questions, and experience conversations firsthand. Explore Faith Week seeks to provide exactly that opportunity.

It also highlights the importance of spaces like Voices@Alive on Alive 90.5 FM, where people from different backgrounds can share their stories, perspectives, and experiences. Because every voice matters.
