Church feature shows one way to destroy a newspaper (6)
I believe the answer is:
pulpit
'church' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pulpit that I've seen before include "Structure for a sermon" , "desk" , "Podium for preaching" , "From which to preach sermons" , "Preacher's platform" .)
