The pulpit is faced with a rectangular design representing the Word of God. In the centre is an open Bible, backed by a Crusader's Sword, here the reference is to Ephesians 6, verse 17, "the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God." Surrounding the Bible are the heraldic symbols of the four Evangelists. The winged man representing St. Matthew where the human aspect of Jesus is emphasized, the winged lion representing St. Mark where the kingly attributes of Jesus are set forth,

the winged ox representing St. Luke who emphasizes the sacrificial nature of Christ's ministry, and the eagle representing St. John the Evangelist who gathered up the story of Jesus and seems to view the whole from a great height. Intertwined around these figures is the Tree of Life which is mentioned in the Book of Revelation where it says that the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations - Revelation 22: verse 2.
