The answers to today's Strands, game #895, are…
PULPIT
BIBLE
ALTAR
HYMNAL
CANDLES
LECTERN
SPANGRAM: INCHURCH
My rating: Easy
My score: Perfect
Some days the theme puzzles me, but today was one of those where you get it immediately and spot the spangram first.
After this it was just a case of finding the various churchy things — of which there are legions.
My favorite thing you see INCHURCH was not included: stained glass windows. I love them and think they should be everywhere — schools, supermarkets, police stations, stadiums — not just picturing the life and times of saints but also the incredible wonders of the secular world.
