5. What is the Difference Between an Alter and a Pulpit?
An altar is a table used for sacrifice or sacrament. In many churches, it's where Communion is celebrated, and it often sits at the centre of the sanctuary. A pulpit is a raised stand from which the preacher delivers the sermon. Put simply, the altar is for offering and sacrament, and the pulpit is for preaching.
