Church Bell-Ringers Rope in Recruits

England's medieval tradition of church bell-ringing has seen a decline in membership in recent years, along with church attendance. Old-timers are trying to rope in new recruits. Photo: George Downs/The Wall Street Journal

This looks like so much fun! Just wonderful!

I’ve rang at Wells cathedral, but I would love to ring at St. Paul’s

Mostly in Europe churches are big but only few people attend the Sunday mass unlike here in Philippines churches are small but attendees are overflowing.

Bell ringing is a voluntary act not a job for you to have a salary... Heaps of us here in Sydney enjoying ringing the bells without any in return... Meeting new friends around the world that could ring is much more appreciated... Proud bell ringer of St Marys cathedral - sydney here....

Bell ringers have absolutely no respect for communities. People work harder and harder these days and need peace and quiet in their lives, and should not have to suffer this horrendous racket produced by these fools. Find something better to do with your pathetic lives and stop interfering with ours.
