I believe I read that the churches in the city already have a variance / exception to ring their bells.

Government is giving official recognition and permission to a religious organization to violate normal standards of noise enforcement.

I believe I read that the churches in the city already have a variance / exception to ring their bells.

Can you discern the religious doctrine promulgated by the bells? Can you tell whether the bells are on a church, school or civic building? My town has a new clock on city hall. The new bells annoyed the community and were reduced in volume. There is NO question about what religion is being hawked 5 times a day in Arabic over the public address systems.
