SUMMARY

1. The main divisions of a church are the nave and aisles (for the people), the chancel (for the clergy and often the choir), and the sanctuary (for the clergy and servers).

2. The main objects in a church, besides the seats, are the font (Baptism), the lectern (Bible), the pulpit (sermons), the confessional (Sacrament of Reconciliation), and the altar (the Eucharist).  The altar is the most important of all and makes it a church.  Many churches have, besides the chief or High Altar, other altars which are often enclosed by chapels.  A Lady Chapel is a chapel dedicated to Our Lady.  Statues of Our Lord, Our Lady and other Saints, may also be found in a church.
