BEER Group Read AMBOPEDIA

[jochen stremmel]

Don't know if somebody mentioned already this possibility: Ambopedia
not as akronym but as portmanteau, ambo being "the platform from which
the deacon reads the Gospel and says the litanies, and the priest
gives the dismissal during the Divine Services"
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambon_%28liturgy%29); in the German
wikipedia I read the definition Ambo = table of the word, and what
pedia means, well, okay.
