Pulpit swap
Pulpit exchanges referred to in church language, especially in Protestantism , the mutual exchange in the foreknowledge of the preaching ministry of priests not only in their own parish , but also abroad, mostly at the regional level.
As a rule, the pulpit swap takes place once a month, usually on a Sunday or the second public holiday of a festival. He does not grant the pastor a Sunday or holiday off duty, but one without complete preparation for the sermon.
A pulpit swap is not only practiced on a local level, but also on an interdenominational level. In the Leuenberg Agreement , the churches that belong to the Community of Evangelical Churches in Europe agreed to exchange preachers (“pulpit fellowship”), as did the communion of communion (“intercommunion” and “intercelebration”).
The field service of lay people on special holidays is sometimes referred to as pulpit swapping.
