I've heard church bells myself, Geo. It always struck me as a way that the particular congregation celebrates, not a city ordinance. I would suspect that in this day and age, strategic noise complaints could tone down those bells. I would doubt law would be enacted, but most likely some regulation would be enforced, or some separation litigation could intimidate the church. I don't suspect public funds were used for installation or operation of those bells. Only conversation here Geo, I don't see it as some form of equivocation.
