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.

Are you kidding me!!!!! That is worse than waterboarding!
21 The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though [a] every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
22 “As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never cease.”
What silly creatures God created, the above passage is God's promise after the flood.
The next thing that they’ll ring out is the invisable man.There is about as much fact in the invisable man as there is in climate change,AKA Global warming.
$^$*&(^# THEM!!!!!!
THIS is why Islam is doing so well!
Instead of teaching about salvation, Christ and the Bible, they are getting involved in socientific and social issues they know NOTHING about.
I don’t attend or support any church anymore. I read the Bible at home - without having to suffer any mental static from politically charged morons masquerading as clergymen.
Actually, churches in the U.S. are allowed to “advocate” on issues, and (to a more limited extent) on legislation related to those issues, according to the 50l(c)(3) regs. What they’re not allowed to do, by law, is endorse or oppose specific candidates or parties. Except, of course, in accordance with the BCFDCRGL (Black Church Freedom Democratic Civil Rights Gigundomundo Loophole.)
Having said that, I am so glad that the Catholic Church is not, and never has been, a member either of the NCC or the WCC.
OUCH!!! I just got hit with a piece of sky

“Christian and Orthodox churches”
Why not just say Christian churches?
Freegards
ding-dongs for dingbats
Who is that guy? His face rings a bell.
The Southern Baptists didn’t make the list. I’m a Christian that worships in Southern Baptist churches, and so far the preaching has been apolitical. Now the preaching may use scripture that shows the immorality of our society and how said immorality causes trends that are destructive, and the difference between how a true Christian or a poser will use his influence in our society.
I know, I know, that is not the case with a lot of Southern Baptist Churches like Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church, where he has made statements that seem contradictory about at least the gay marriage issue in Prop. 8 in CA.
Well, they gotta use those churches for SOMETHING!
I love the Southern Baptist Church. It’s hard for me to think of anybody I esteem more than, for instance, Albert Mohler. Richard Land, he’s a good ‘un too.
I was raised Catholic but only jumped through the hoops, never embraced it. Married a So. Baptist girl who had walked away, but we went to visit her mamma’s church and low and behold, I got it. I just consider myself a Christian who chooses to worship in the Southern Baptist Church. Don’t know no better, I guess.
In fact, I love y’all so much (most of my very good in-laws are Southern Baptists), I wish the Catholic Church had a SB Rite!
Perhaps church bells should peal out the danger signal for socialism in America, while they are at it...
At least that would be useful.
