Monday morning I jumped off the bus at my usual stop a couple blocks from my office, running a bit later than usual. Hoping to save a couple of minutes, I took a shortcut through a large temporary parking lot that occupies the space vacated when our old convention center was demolished. Suddenly I heard church bells ringing! I stopped, turning all around to determine where the sounds were coming from. The source was an old grey stone church nestled a few blocks away between tall glass buildings under construction.
