WORLD YOUTH DAY 2008

“Religion is a reality,” says Paul Collins. “You might not like it, you might think we ought to get rid of religion, but it is a fact that the vast majority of the human race seems to think that it is important. As broadcasters it is our task to report on the world around us. We treat economics seriously, we treat politics seriously, we treat social issues seriously and like it or lump it, religion is part of our world.”


The Pilgrim Walk Podcast
Sydney is in the grips of World Youth Day - a public celebration of youth and faith. But the Sydney of 2008 is a far cry from Sydney of 1788, a time when religion was either ignored or fueled hostilities between the Irish and the English. Rebecca Lewis explores the heart of the emerald city, reflecting on its history and how it has shaped its contemporary religious life.

Exclusive LIVE coverage

For Australians who are unable to make it to Sydney for the World Youth Day events, SBS Radio will broadcast World Youth Day activities culminating in the live coverage of the Papal Mass on July 20 which is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of participants to Sydney. SBS Radio’s coverage will be in English and in the languages of our diverse listeners around the country.

SBS Radio’s English language coverage will be provided by a dedicated team of commentators who will guide listeners through key World Youth Day events and present insights into the ceremonies that lie at the heart of the occasion.

Complimentary programming on Australia’s religious environment and its secular multiculturalism will help add context to this religious event.

The team includes Paul Collins, a former priest who describes himself as a “progressive catholic”.
He is also a respected author of numerous books and a former long-time presenter and anchor of the ABC’s religious affairs program The Religion Report.

Dakyhylina Madkhul, who is currently appearing on SBS Television’s Salam Café, works closely with refugee students in her main role as a primary and secondary school counselor. She brings to the team her perspectives as a young woman of faith and the subtleties of negotiating religious belief with modern life.

Pria Viswalingam is a journalist-filmmaker and former SBS presenter, who has produced many documentary series for both SBS and the ABC. He brings to the team a sophisticated understanding of the interplay between religion, society and identity.
