Church
pews are an indispensable item in any house of worship. They
provide the bare minimum of comfort for those celebrating Mass or
attending service, while their deliberate shared seating capacity
allows for the celebrants to come together in praise of the Lord. In
short, church pews, while appearing at times as ordinary wooden
benches, serve a very important role.
Ministers
and priests alike will want to position their pews properly for the
best effect. While it’s only natural that the faithful need to face
the altar or front of the temple, houses of worship only have so much
room for a certain number of pews. A little ingenuity can maximize
the space within a sanctuary, fitting as many pews as the location
permits.
One
way to properly position pews is to first mark the floor of a temple
with masking tape to denote a pew’s position. Those attempting to
move the church furniture this way should also measure the dimensions
of the pews to get a rough idea of how each will take up space. It’s
wiser to move the pews one by one, starting with the front row moving
backwards. If there are spaces along the sides of the temple,
ministers should consider either adding pews positioned diagonally,
or smaller pews to fill in the gaps.
