Kanzelbuch – Predigtarchiv für FeG-Gemeinden

Kanzelbuch (“pulpit book”) is a lightweight sermon archive for local churches. It was made for FeG churches (Free Evangelical Churches) in Germany, but every church can use it for free.

• Sermon post type with speaker, topic, bible book and bible passage.
• All 66 books of the Bible in canonical order (German names), chosen in the editor with an ordered checkbox list.
• Topic groups with one image per group. Sermons without a featured image use the image of their group.
• HTML5 audio player. No external services, no tracking.
• Archive with filters for speaker, topic and bible book, plus expandable topic groups.
• Shortcode [feg_predigten_slider anzahl="6"]: latest sermons as tiles with a player.
• Shortcode [feg_predigten_archiv]: archive with filters on any page.
• Optional Yoast SEO helpers: sermon description as meta description, thin taxonomy archives set to noindex.
• Compatible with existing data from Advanced Sermons (post type sermons, its taxonomies and audio / passage fields).
• Translation ready.

The plugin is free. If it helps your church, a donation is welcome (link on the settings page; the notice can be hidden).
