Ring, Ring Goes the Bell

This woman is dedicated to answering her deepest longing question...

If a bell rings in a shopping mall parking lot, will anyone respond?

Brenda Hutchinson is driving around the country in her two-door Honda Civic with a large bell to find out. It is a 250-pound cast iron bell [pictured.] In the lobby of our church, we have one that looks a lot like this one. I think that is special.

Brenda is setting up the bell in different cities and asking passersby to ring it. Why? No real reason except the ringing, she says.

The Journey is called The Bell Project, and will finish at the Exploratorium in San Francisco. Brenda will then donate the bell to the museum during the opening of their new Listen: Making Sense of Sound project.
