He is high and lifted up...

 

Exalted you might say...

 

Against the chancel, eh, Daniel, and what then of vestments, eh, Daniel, and just so I can say eh again, what of clerical collars, eh, Daniel?

(2 hours sleep in two days - this is what happens)

 

Daniel,
That made me LOL! Very good. I think you have a gift for this sort of thing.

BTW, don't you have a birthday coming up soon? Aren't you due for a ride up over that big bump in the road?

 

Rev. Egglesthorpe was sidetracked as he told of his weekend fishing trip..."it was this big"...

 

Did not the puritans believe in a high pulpit to symbolize a high view of Scripture and preaching? Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS has an elevated pulpit at their Chapel.

 

Rose - November, the big "four oh"

Jim - lol

Jazzy - the puritans may well have. I personally -LOVE- that pulpit, the utter, in-your-face magnus opum of pulpetry, fashioned so as not to be one of these portable jobs that scoot off and on the "stage" as the need arises. This pulpit says - "You are here to hear a sermon"

I cannot help but to poke a little fun at it though, because it is sooooo "in your face" - not that that isn't a good thing for a pulpit...

 

The preacher sort of looks like an officer in the military of the Empire, circa 1830.

But then he's standing in a Soyuz capsule, so that can't be right.
