On behalf of one of my students I'd be grateful for any information

I posted a request for information on church "register" on 3/13 and it
was brought to my attention by Mr. Joseph Frost that it might help to
clarify what denomination of church I'm using as a reference.  I am
looking for non-denominational church "register" information,
specifically "modern" christian-based churches, but not orthodox or
catholic churches.

Thanks,
April Gentry

Original query:
I am studying what I call *Christian Language*.  It's really a
register that people speak in a church, or on a Sunday morning sermon
on the t.v.  It's bleeding with metaphors and interpretations of the
Bible.  I haven't been able to find any references to this register.
Any and all input will be greatly appreciated.  Please e-mail me.

I am currently doing a research project on language policy/planning in
a graduate course I am taking presently.  The information I am seeking
is on any sources about language policy/planning in Burma(Mynamr) that
has taken place in the 1990's.

       Thank you,
       Virginia Jeffries
