  • Christian Liturgy

DEF

[In a church,] an elevated lectern or pulpit, typically located in the nave before the chancel, and raised on two or more steps.

CONT

The dignity of the word of God requires that the church have a place that is suitable for the proclamation of the word and toward which the attention of the whole congregation of the faithful naturally turns during the Liturgy of the Word. ... It is appropriate that this place be ordinarily a stationary ambo and not simply a movable lectern. The ambo must be located in keeping with the design of each church in such a way that the ordained ministers and lectors may be clearly seen and heard by the faithful.

CONT

On aménagera l'ambon, en fonction des données architecturales de chaque église, de telle sorte que les fidèles voient et entendent bien les ministres ordonnés et les lecteurs.
