In a church, what is the area called that is located on the left side where sermons are preached?

The correct answer is the area where sermons are preached in a church is commonly referred to as the "pulpit" or simply the area in front of the congregation, often aligned with the altar. However, the option "Gospel" does not accurately represent an area where sermons are delivered.

The altar, on the other hand, is typically a sacred table used for the Eucharist and other religious rites, but it is not specifically where sermons are preached. The pew refers to the seating areas where congregants sit during services, and the narthex is the entrance or lobby area of the church, serving as a space that separates the nave from the outside. Therefore, while "Gospel" might hold significance in the context of church teachings or readings, it does not denote a physical area within the church where preaching occurs.
