Praying for peace and quiet

Karen Clark of Glenwood, Fla.

"We're not trying to prevent anyone from praying. But when Jesus went into the woods to pray to his father, he didn't bring a 4,000-pound bell."

-- Karen Clark, president of the Glenwood Civic Association in Glenwood, Fla., complaining about loud bells that call monks to prayer at the nearby Mother of Good Shepherd Monastery. Neighbors say the bells, rung five times a day, are too loud. She was quoted by the Orlando Sentinel.
