Call for Papers on Prayer, AAA 2009

[Harold Schiffman]

To Lgpolicy-list members: I'm forwarding this because of the possibility
of papers on language  policy in prayer, which there have been several
postings about on this list in the past years, notably the Southern Baptist
policy on glossolalia, i.e. 'speaking in tongues.'
