Abstract:

What is the role of language in ethnic churches? This new and much
needed account of the Australian experience examines the issues faced
by sixteen congregations, together representing different periods of
Australia's migration history, as well as different languages,
cultural backgrounds and Christian denominations. Drawing on the rich
data provided by the study, the concept of "language--religion
ideology" is developed to describe the nature of the relationship
between language and religion which is exhibited by a denomination,
with far-reaching implications for multilingual and multicultural
societies.
