This paper argues through Sarah Coakley's theology of contemplative trinitarianism that silence is integral to rethinking equality in Malaysia's multi-lingual and religious context. The primary focus of this discussion is the recent trend of privileging the English language and Western expressions of worship in mainline Christian denominations in Malaysia. It critiques this phenomenon as a symptom of a systemic problem, namely, the suppression of the indigenious for a universal ideal. This phenomenon widens the gap between the "less educated" and English-speaking, which inadvertently supports religious inequality. Taking Coakley's case for contemplative silence as a vital part of being incorporated into the trinitarian life, it questions whether the practice of silence in worship could cut across language barriers and question (religious) inequality. The enquiry concludes by exploring how the communal practice of silence as practised in Quaker meetings would help rethink the use of language in worship and its possibilities for incorporating and accepting diversity into God's trinitarian life.
