Editing Lectern desk (section)

==Antique lectern desk==
The antique is basically a [[lectern]] fitted with the conveniences needed to make writing easy, such as room for paper and writing implements.  In a sense, it is a specialised and rarer form of [[standing desk]].  The term is sometimes used for large standing desks.

Because the antique lectern [[desk]] is smaller than most kinds of standing desks, it is suitable for writing in cramped quarters, in a residence or at a workplace.  Most lectern desks have a slanted top with a lip, to keep pens and paper from sliding down.

Lectern desks can sometimes be found in churches.
