Pew
This article is about Church pews. For the article on the nonpartisan research institute, see Pew Research Center. A pew is a long bench used for seating members of a church's congregation.Churches were not commonly furnished with permanent pews before the coming of the Protestant Reformation. The rise of the sermon as a central act of Christian worship, especially in Protestantism, made the pew an indispensable item of church furniture. Most Orthodox churches do not have pews; they have stands instead.
