The Bells of St. Mary's

I used to believe that I loved the sound of church bells. I would like to think that I still do but the feeling is starting to diminish. I understand them ringing on a Sunday, for a wedding, even a regular "bong" for the hours of the day but what I don't understand is why you would need to play approximately 6 songs (I'm not talking a single ding-dong but an entire bell song) at 7:30pm on a Tuesday night with random intervals of quiet (making you think they're finished). I understand if they were calling the congregation to service but don't you think they would hear the first song and think, "I'd better get to church!"

I guess I'll have to find a more devout person to explain the logic behind this...
