Did the secretary to the committee really believe us, I wonder .. ? Or maybe this is the direction in which they want rural churches to go ..

At least that's possible with the present carillion (which we will clearly have to auction on Ebay to raise money for the ring tones technology. But again, I suppose the cost will depend on how many we want to download). The Archdeacon of Derby, whom I told about the site, requesting faculty permission, told me that the Chancellor of the diocese (who grants such things) would no doubt be in touch. This one could ring and ring ... I think it’s a great pity that some Gregorian chant isn’t one of the options.

What more rousing call to worship could there be? Indeed, we confidently predict that its dulcet (yet professionally amplified) tones will inspire many a heartfelt private prayer, across the length and breadth of the village. Sunday mornings may never be the same again! PARWICH.ORG would like to cast its collective vote for the deeply spiritual melody of the “Crazy Frog”. What more rousing call to worship could there be?

I am today approaching the diocesan authorities for fast track approval of our proposals, and, going by fast experience, we should expect to have faculty permission in place by April 1st 2009.
