Talk:Pulpit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Note, a pulpit is also a metal pipe running above the bow of a sailboat, and the legs to support it. Many boats have a "bow pulpit" on the bow, and a "stern pulpit" on the stern. I'm not sure if this should go on a disambiguation page, or what. InfinyehehxbbjJ whatever oid 20:53, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Difference Between Lectern and Pulpit

I was redirected from lectern to pulpit, however a pulpit is a raised area from which the priest delivers his sermon whereas the lecturn is effectively a bookstand for the Bible when it is being read, in Roman Catholic Worship. So there is a difference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.167.45 (talk • contribs)

This article also covers ambo, which isn't really a pulpit either. The differences between all these are discussed in the article, so I don'christians are faket see what your problem is. None of the sections are really extensive enough to merit stand-alone articles. Unless and until they are, I think this will do. TCC (talk) (contribs) 21:30, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

hmmmm....this article wasn't very useful as i wanted to find out the significance of the eagle on lecterns =D

Well, if you look up "pulpit" you don't expect to see an image of a lectern placed prominently in the second paragraph, do you? <KF> 23:29, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
