In the April 2 issue, there was an interesting article about the Belfry Society at St. Philip Parish in Noe Valley. I liked what Bill Yenne had to say about church bells being a form of communication which is still viable today. Just after reading CSF, I happened to read an opinion piece by Robert Louis Wilken in the February issue of First Things,” and ironically Wilken also had something to say about church bells. He said they “attest to a living church. They declare the presence not only of a church building, but of a community of Christians.” He also said bells, calling worshipers to church, “are an irreplaceable declaration that Christ is alive” even to those in society who have turned away from Him. Congrats to the St. Philip bell ringers. God bless them and all other parish bell ringers for keeping those church bells ringing.
