Equations describing the intergrain flux creep of ceramic superconductors are derived. They are based on the behavior of small superconducting loops closed by overdamped Josephson junctions. The elementary loops are formed around nonsuperconducting regions between the grains, the loops acting as pinning centers. Despite different pinning mechanisms the equations for the relaxation of the intergrain current density in a static and a slowly varying external magnetic field are formally similar to those of the classical flux-creep theory based on volume pinning.
