That is interesting. I am all for symbols and icons but only as touchstones that lead us to the Life beyond them.

Great video, I love the music as well. Who wrote/performed that second song? It was so beautiful.

Bells in Orthodoxy are almost always dead hung (cannot swing). When Muslim armies overran Christian lands in the medieval period, they outlawed the ringing of bells. Christians took to beating complex rhythms on wooden planks (semantron) cut to different lengths and hung from ropes. After they were free and able to use bells again, they transferred these traditional rhythms onto bells. It is very hard to ring rhythms on swinging bells.

The mission trip prior to ours put new siding and built the deck and replaced the dome, etc. Looks great huh?

I am an idiot, the song is How cn I Keep from singing the title track, I was talking on the phone and not paying attention! Forgive me! It is an old Quaker tune and you are right, lovely.

The music is from St. Innocent's Academy in Kodiak Alaska and the second song is Give me your Hand from their "How Can I Keep from Singing" CD
They have a Coffee Shop called Monk's Rock in Kodiak, I don't know if it is online, but the academy has a website...

i think that you should have built a tower to acommidate a swining bell, i think that swining bells sound more alive

As to your comment on "swingy bells sounding more alive" that is okay I guess, however, Orthodox Churches don't traditionally have those types of bell towers, they have the kind we built and one or two ringers will ring a particular "song" from the bells for that church. It is all part of the fabric of Orthodoxy and it is beautiful.
