The bell ringing across Texas Friday was fit for a queen. Several parishes of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas rang bells at noon in Houston, Tyler, Waco and Austin.
Some of the parishes rang bells for a full hour, while others rang bells 96 times to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s 96 years of life.
“Every day there’s going to be something that allows people to pay tribute to the Queen,” said Bishop Diocesan, C. Andrew Doyle. “So the Archbishop of Canterbury who is the peer but also the head of church, the Anglican Communion, asked that we ring bells.” C. Andrew Doyle is the ninth Bishop of the Diocese of Texas. He said the Queen, in title, is the head of the Anglican Church, who appoints their Archbishop of Canterbury.
On Friday and for the days to come the Houston Diocesan Center in downtown Houston will pay tributes to Britain’s longest-reigning monarch. “Her embodiment of faithfulness in some way is a large part of our communion and I would say that in the episcopal church we celebrate the life of all those who we faithful whether they are the least or a queen,” Doyle said.Christ Church Cathedral, located at 1117 Texas Avenue in Houston, will open its doors next Monday through Friday for a memorial service. Doyle said the public can go to the chapel to pay tribute and leave prayers for Queen Elizabeth II.
