The World Council of Churches on Thursday called on churches around the world to ring their bells 350 times during the Copenhagen climate change summit on December 13 as a call to action on global warming.
The leading council of Christian and Orthodox churches also invited places of worship for other faiths to join a symbolic "chain of chimes and prayers" stretching around the world from the international date line in the South Pacific.
"On that Sunday, midway through the UN summit, the WCC invites churches around the world to use their bells, drums, gongs or whatever their tradition offers to call people to prayer and action in the face of climate change," the council said in a statement.
"By sounding their bells or other instruments 350 times, participating churches will symbolise the 350 parts per million that mark the safe upper limit for CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere according to many scientists," it added.

I thought I just read that China is in the midst of one of the worst blizzards in its recorded history.
I bet that’ll kill allot of church bells.
Ding Dong for the Dingbats.
Nothing but a bunch of commies.
How about the CO2 produced from the effort to ring those church bells?

The world truly has slipped into the abyss. Ring away, hosers!
Hells’ Bells!
The World Council of Churches is a NeoCommie, social justice, government worshiping, antichrist, apostate organization. If the commie council is for it, Christians should be against it. Don’t participate in the warming scam.
I guess that the WCC has become specialists in climatology. Is Gore perhaps their equivalent to pope?
Blurring the line between religions
Good point. Not to mention the noise pollution.
And how about the sound pollution?
Iron Bells!
What a world of solemn thought their monody compels!
In the silence of the night,
How we shiver with affright
At the melancholy menace of their tone!
Symbolism over substance, again......
...I’m sure that the Presbyterian Church USA will ring away with gusto....they’re always anxious to support any Leftist cause.
Never mind your ear drums. It’s the planet dammit!
