Two schools of thought are clanging together at Christ Episcopal Church in Pittsford over its church bells.
After complaints from neighbors that the bells, which sounded every hour, disrupted their sleep, church officials decided to silence the bells after 11 p.m. But some church members are upset that the church’s governing body decided to end that more than century-old tradition without discussions with parishioners and the community.
Church officials said they talked at length about the issue and felt their decision was appropriate.
I can’t imagine why it would be controversial to regulate the time of the chimes to waking hours.

Sometimes, it’s not the decision itself, but the manner the decision is made.
Argh… That should read ‘The manner in which the decision is made.’
