acknowledging the 400th anniversary of the First African Landing in English North America. Christ Church, in solidarity with the nationwide bell ringing at 3:00 pm will ring their bells for four minutes - one for each century - to honor the first Africans who landed in 1619 at Point Comfort and 400 years of African American History. Interested parties are encouraged to arrive at 2:45 pm at Christ Church.
Why a Bell Ringing? Bells are rung for joy,sorrow, alarm,and celebration...universal concepts in each of our lives. This symbolic gesture will enable Americans from all walks of life to participate in this historic moment from wherever they are--to capture the spirit of healing and reconciliation while honoring the significance of 400 years of African American history and culture.
