Encyclopedia > Bell choir

User:A bell choir is a choir made up of bells or bell ringers which "sing" the songs in lieu of a chorus of people. People usually use hand-held bells to ring the bells on cue during a hymn. Unfortunately, most churches dont use bell choirs anymore, since they have resorted to more modern, or contemporary christian or gospel worship songs, like was started ever since the 1992 movie, "Sister Act" with Whoopi Goldberg came out.
