<S>. Exactly. Church bells only please. Christian calls to prayer are fine, others not so much.... <S>

I have churches in my neighborhood and a mosque. Neither make sounds. They should all keep it that way.

I’m good with Church bells marking time, on the hour. No noise from 9-10pm until 8-9am

Regina Police had this to say about church bells ,
QUOTE
It is against the Noise Abatement Bylaw #6980 to create any noise that is a disturbance to others between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. with the exception of:
1. pre-authorized events or;
2. noise caused by:
* emergency vehicles * train whistles * snow removal equipment * church bells
END QUOTE
The pic posted above looked more like an electronic loud speaker system than a bell.
Apparently, there are Call to Prayer Apps for one's phone .

3mins at 5 times a day = 15mins, if they allow it to occur at 10pm and before 7am.
If they allow Church bells from 8am to 10pm - that’s 15times, ranging from a single ‘toll’ at 1pm to 12 rings for noon, mostly likely less than 3-4mins total duration cumulatively.
The article says they have a permit for once a week, Friday afternoons.

All good. I’m hardly innocent of spotting and chasing squirrels myself.
interesting and sad. Church bells have been silenced throughout many areas as a result of people protesting being forced to listen to churchy stuff, you know freedom from religion etc. Now we have the sound of prayer call echoing through the streets what, 5 times a day? At least the church bells would give you the correct time. Wait until Ramadan when they start reading the Koran all night long. I loved the bells by the way but if doing without the bells is the only way to eliminate prayer call I am all for it.

Call-to-prayer is a religious dominance play.
Church bells are basically music without words. Call-to-prayer is a political statement.

Which, like political statements, are in the eye of the beholder.
One person's church bells (which are and have been used as calls to a different kind of prayer) is another's call to prayer, with all the attendant narrative baggage one chooses to attach to either.

No big worries -- enough to chew on, I think, to rate its own thread within the guard rails of political discussion here on the boards.

Church bells were also melted into armaments during the World Wars .
