Sitka church rings bell 300 times for every 1,000 lives lost to the coronavirus

Sitka church rings bell 300 times for every 1,000 lives lost to the coronavirus Posted by Erin McKinstry, KCAW | Dec 15, 2020 Members of St. Peter’s by the Sea Episcopal Church’s congregation gather for a short prayer after ringing the bell for 300,000 lives lost to COVID-19 (Photo by Erin McKinstry/KCAW) More than 300,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus since February. In honor of those lives lost, Sitka’s St. Peter’s Episcopal Church joined the National Cathedral and churches around the country, and rang its bell 300 times on Tuesday afternoon (11-15-20). The bell sounded for 15 minutes: one ring for every 1,000 lives lost. It’s a death toll that’s hard to comprehend, said Steve Gage, who was one of two church members trading off to tug the bell’s heavy rope.
