The pulpit is the place where, every Sunday, the preacher uses the Bible readings to explain the Christian faith and to apply it our lives today.*
The modern sculpture above the pulpit, ‘Christ in Majesty’ by Peter Ball is carved from oak and covered in copper, brass & gold leaf. It reminds us that the responsibility of preachers is not to expound their own ideas but to point us to Christ.*
What we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord’.
2 Corinthians 4:5
*From church signboard
Looks sort of old but with touch of new.

Have you been to Portland?
You have to go there to see the most fascinating Pulpit Rock.
It really looks like one, a chunky fat one.
I have been to Portland Bill…
I have seen the lighthouse and a fabulous sunset.
Is this where the pulpit rock is?
