Summary This edited book explores stories of linguistic and spiritual identity in the urban and rural Australian landscape. It is an innovative mix of thirty six personal narratives and eleven research studies, which together offer accounts of the intersection of languages, religion and spirituality in peoples lives. Teachers of Indigenous languages speak of the critical connection between language revitalization, the spirituality of Country, and well-being. Both new and long-established diaspora individuals speak of the often complex but vital joint role of language and faith in belonging and heritage. The new dimension which the book brings to multilingualism is relevant to all complex global societies. Language and Spirit is ideal for both the general reader interested in community languages and interfaith issues, and academics in global intercultural studies and Applied Linguistics study wishing to gain a nuanced insight into the Language and Spirit intersection. Robyn Moloney is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at Macquarie University, Australia. Formerly a language teacher in schools she became a language teacher educator and researcher. Her many book and journal publications cover personal development in learners and teachers through language learning. She currently works in supporting teacher intercultural development. Shenouda Mansour is a Priest of the Coptic Orthodox Church, Australia. His research has investigated attitudes to identity and language in a Coptic school. He is the General Secretary of NSW Ecumenical Council, a body which builds networks across churches. He is the director of Coptic Orthodox Community Outreach Service, and is a radio program producer.
