Abstract
Chinese signage on churches is increasingly prominent in Sydney’s linguistic landscape. These signs are surprising because they are bilingual in a predominantly English monolingual linguistic landscape. They are also surprising because Chinese is not the language of a traditional Christian population. Chinese-English bilingual church signage is evidence of a growing trend towards conversion to Christianity among Australia’s Chinese population.
