That's Odd


The image above is the pulpit (ca.1750) in a parish church in Dobroszów, Poland. How's that for an appropriate location from which to preach on Jonah 1:17 (see below) or perhaps Genesis 1:21? Tall priests need not apply.


Staying with an ocean theme, there's the following pulpit located in the Imperial Abbey of Irsee. A great place from which to invite people to get on board the Barque of Peter.



That is one serious pulpit! Most modern ambos are tame by comparison.

Turning from the unique and delightfully unusual to the highly unfortunate and disturbing, who can forget the following oddity (2020)?


In conclusion, the Left Coast favourite example of the painfully odd... not pulpits but puppets.


If you'll excuse me, I have to scratch out my eyes for looking at that scene from a "Catholic" liturgy led by a certain SJW RC Bishop-emeritus, a recipient of the Order of the (Anglican) Diocese of British Columbia for being, to their way of thinking, a successful SJW.

TRUE PARTICIPATION IN THE MASS

"I was gathered into the offering of the Son to the Father. I participated in the self-offering of God today."

FEATURED SCRIPTURE | Revelation 8:1-5

When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne; and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth; and there were peals of thunder, loud noises, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
