Announcements Lectern
Some churches use a separate lectern for announcements or other non-scriptural speaking. Its presence and location are practical local choices.
Key points
- This stand helps keep the ambo focused on the proclamation of the Word.
- Look for: A secondary stand apart from the ambo.
- An illustrative Roman Catholic parish in the Latin rite, assembled for study rather than surveyed from a single building. Plans, devotional furnishings, music, and the locations of the font and tabernacle vary; Eastern Catholic churches have other traditions. Sizes, materials, and spacing are illustrative, and displayed vessels represent different moments of worship.
