Flag Highlights: How to Display the Flag --part 8

We will be offering a series of blogs that highlight different traditions, facts and important information about the United States Flag.These informational facts were taken from a Brochure published in 1966 and found at the Daughters of the Utah Pioneer Museum located next to the Utah State Capitol building.

ON A PULPIT OR AT A CHURCH

When it is displayed on the pulpit or chancel in a church, the flag of the United States should be flown from a staff placed on the clergyman's right as he faces the congregation. All other flags on the pulpit or chancel should be on his left.
However, when it is displayed on the floor of the church, on a level with the congregation, the position of the flag is reversed from that above. It is placed on the right of the congregation, as one faces the pulpit or chancel.

All words, grammar and word usage, has been taken directly from this 1966 brochure.
