NEW YORK Barack Obama and his message of change will get a ringing endorsement on Inauguration Day from 12 bells at a church near ground zero.
"Change ringing is a way that we express the joy of our community, and I think much of the nation is joyous about this inauguration," said Jeremy Bates, a Manhattan lawyer and former Obama campaign worker who will be among the 12 ringers pulling on sturdy ropes in the church's bell tower to mark the historic occasion.
Change ringing is far more common outside the United States. Most cathedrals in England have sets of 12 bells like the one at Trinity, the largest in this country. The National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., has a set of 10.
On Tuesday, the ringers will climb 100 steps of a narrow, spiral staircase and a 20-foot ladder to a tiny change-ringing room, 20 feet below the belfry of the church near the World Trade Center site.
In the sanctuary below, several hundred people will watch the swearing-in of the nation's first black president on a giant television. When the ceremony ends, the ringers will begin the peal.

Psalm 118:9
It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.Psalm 146:3
Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.
Who do they think he is? Laurel and Hardy?
Trinity has a pretty impressive set of bells, fer sure.
Keep your kids home Tue. Supervise what they see and hear.
Well, hell’s bells.
“Who do they think he is? Laurel and Hardy?”
Well, it’s certainly not Amos and Andy! :`)
It appears that TEC is now worshiping the false Messiah.
Ironic, isn’t it? Leave it up to the liberals and soon there won’t be any churches.
Well, the USA made it almost 233 years - that’s a little more than the average for other democracies that have ended up cannibalizing themselves like we’re doing.
They will all be liberal/socialist “approved” churches.
Oh great Faux Messiah! Oh great Babbling False Prophet!
Next thing you know, these liberals will actually expect the Babbling False Prophet (Slow Joe Biden) to cause people to leave their wheelchairs and walk.
“Stand up so the folks can see ya!”
“Ask not for whom the bell tolls ... it tolls for” America and all those who gave even a plugged nickel for her.
What happened to "the separation of church and state"?
Or does that only apply to heterosexual churches?
The Obama worship is sick,sick,sick.
Every libtard in the country has lost their grip on reality.
They are literally treating Zero as a god. SICK.
That only applies to those beliefs that don’t promote liberalism.
LOL!
That's okay, they'll probably have a muzzein up there by next year anyway.
