Talk:Church bell

message: Does anyone have a wav sound with a Church bell's recorded?
Look for CD "Church Bells of England" 73 minutes
of 16 different English church's bells. (I found
it at Amazon but bought new copy on eBay.)
If you are looking for English/European sounding
church bells this is probably it.
Also, I wonder why this article is titled Church
BELL, because I think almost all churches have
more than one. Many have 7 to 12. This should be
titled Church BellS?

message: The article mentions a bell in the Bulgaria National History Museum being the oldest surviving church bell in the world, dating from the 13th century. However, there are articles that mention even older surviving bells. Please see http://oce.catholic.com/index.php?title=Bells (mentions an Irish bell from the end of the 9th century), http://www.arquidiocesisdemerida.org.ve/museo_exposiciones.asp (in Spanish, with the second and third oldest bells in the world, 909 and 912 AD, respectively), and http://www.ctmuseumquest.com/?page_id=2222 (perhaps a 'new oldest' bell from 815 AD). I have been tempted to add these after failing to find a good source for the Bulgarian bell, but maybe it is a matter of definition (church bell vs. some other kind of religious bell?). Any expert opinions? Acmejia (talk) 21:59, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Moving on to the substantive point.  The article is about Church Bells, their use and construction.  Bells are used not just as a call to prayer, but also to announce where in the service the celebrant has reached.  They are rung in times of celebration (weddings, baptisms, civil celebrations), times of mourning (funerals, national mourning), to tell the time, as an announcement (passing bells), as a musical performance (peals, quarter-peals and tower visits) and for practice nights.  Is a chorus of Shofars sounded to tell the time?  Would you have a 20 minute Azan to celebrate a wedding?  There is a disambiguation page Call to prayer which is the appropriate place.  There is even a request on that page for it to be expanded to an article covering the subject – I think your efforts might be better directed to that end rather than adding irrelevancies.

message: The article states that Paulinus of Nola introduced the bells into the Church. However, it is only a traditional credit and not a historical one —- as stated in Paulinus' article. The article refers to:
Phillott, H.W., "Paulinus, bishop of Nola", Dictionary of Christian Biography, (Henry Wace, ed.) London, John Murray, 1911
that itself refers to a German book available on archive.org that supposedly shows that the bells do not originate from Paulinus or even from Nola:
"Paulin, bischof von Nola, und seine zeit" by Adolf Buse (1856).
Would it be valuable for a German-speaker to check if Buse presents an alternative origin of christian bells?
