Religious Literacy
The guest this week In Conversation with Noel Cheer on Face Television is Dr Rachael Kohn. She produces and presents one
of the finest radio programmes dealing with aspects of religious culture and practice. She has been doing so in
Australia on the ABC’s Radio National for the past 16 years.
She has been a university lecturer and was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Letters by the University of New South Wales in
2005 for her “outstanding contribution to fostering religious understanding in the Australian community.” We met at the
annual Conference of The Sea of Faith Network NZ.
