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 3:1-3

I know your works; you have the name of being alive, and you are dead. Awake, and strengthen what remains and is on the point of death, for I have not found your works perfect in the sight of my God. Remember then what you received and heard; keep that, and repent. If you will not awake, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.

Without a moral framework, there is nothing left but immediate self-indulgence by some and the path of least resistance by others. Neither can sustain a free society. | Thomas Sowell
