McMaster Divinity College Bells Ring for First Time in 20 Years
September 15, 2010

For many years the bell tower at McMaster Divinity College has been silent. The seminary, located on the campus of McMaster University in Hamilton, rang the bells to signify the beginning of its first chapel service of the year.

“There was once a time when every community was exposed to the sound of church bells,” stated President Dr. Stanley Porter. “Just as the church had that visible presence in their communities we too are seeking to be more visible within the McMaster community. Our chapel is open to anyone within this community and we welcome them to participate in the Wednesday chapel services.”

The bells will ring at 1:15pm for three to five minutes each Wednesday during the academic year to signify that chapel will be beginning soon - at 1:30pm.
