Open Pulpit programme

[Freducator]

The Churches Together organisation in my area organises, in January of each year, an open pulpit programme, where ministers of different denominations will for one Sunday exchange pulpits – so, an Anglican vicar might find themselves in a Methodist Church, a Catholic priest in a Pentecostal Church, and a Quaker in a Baptist Church.

Does this sort of thing happen anywhere else?

I've never seen it happen, but it does sound interesting. I wouldn't necessarily be in favor of it as a part of regular worship services, but I would welcome the opportunity to hear a wide variety of ministers preach at a single venue. I think it would be quite interesting.

I see no problem with this so long as they only allow Catholic priests at Catholic parishes. Only a Catholic priest or deacon can give a homily at Mass. Only a Catholic priest or bishop can perform the Mass.

Unitarian Universalist does this often, hosting clergy from other religious organizations.

Lutherans and Calvinists in Europe share the pulpit and the sacraments.
