Stand for a lecturer (7)

I believe the answer is:

lectern

(Other definitions for lectern that I've seen before include "speeches may come from this" , "Support for bible in church" , "Church reading desk" , "Desk for a standing reader" , "Orator's stand" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
