For Whom the Bell Tolls!
PHOENIX, ARIZONA 4 June, 2009
A Phoenix bishop has received a suspended 10-day jail sentence because his church bells violated a city noise ordinance.
The bells at the Cathedral of Christ the King in northwest Phoenix normally chime on the hour from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Neighbors said the bells are too loud and ring too often.
In addition to Bishop Painter's sentence, the judge on Wednesday restricted chimes at the church to no more than 60 decibels for two minutes on Sundays and specific religious holidays [excellent!].
The Bishop said he will appeal (LOL)
