In Methodism (inclusive of the holiness movement), a tabernacle is the center of a camp meeting, where revival services occur. [1] [2] Tabernacles may be constructed in a cruciform-shaped fashion and are most often made of wood. [3] [4] Like the interior of many Methodist churches, in the center of the tabernacle is an altar upon which the Eucharist is consecrated; a pulpit stands near it and is used by preachers to deliver sermons. [3] The area of the tabernacle housing the altar and pulpit is delimited by the mourner's bench. [3] Surrounding the tabernacle itself are usually several cabins and/or tents, where people stay while attending the camp meeting. [4]
