Playing the bells at St. Paul’s, Hamilton

This weekend, the boys and I visited St Paul’s Presbyterian Church in downtown Hamilton in a Doors Open 2012 event. What we thought was especially entertaining in this visit was that they allowed Doors Open visitors to sound the bells of St. Paul’s bell tower using their mechanical controller levers, which are located in a console up in the bell tower.

Doors Open events are all about community. This community focus should also apply to how people get to far-flung sites. A communal approach to transportation would make Doors Open touring more environmentally-friendly and more fun as well.
