Actor Will Smith, The Angelus, and the Muslim Call to Prayer

Creative Minority Report had a interesting post on some of Will Smiths recent comments at Actor Calls Jesus "Lord and Savior"

This part at the end struck me

“I was in India recently, and my hotel was near the Taj Mahal. Five times a day there would be a call for prayer, and it was the most beautiful thing,” the “Seven Pounds” star recounted. Smith found a way to relate his experience abroad to his own Baptist upbringing.

“I was lying in my bed thinking, no matter what your religion is, it would be great to have that reminder five times a day to remember your Lord and savior,” he said. Smith is “at home and not fearful” when at a mosque, synagogue, temple or the Church of Scientology, explaining that he likes “anywhere people are searching for the truth.” “I respect their path and I'm intrigued by their path,” he shared.

Well we used too have all over this world a Christian Call to prayer as also noted by someone in the Comment section. In towns all over the world the Church bells would ring and it was Angelus time three times a day as everyday folk stopped what they were doing for a few minutes and recalled that Christ was Lord..

It of course still occurs in many places

That is what those folks are doing the above famous painting. One of the whole purposes of bells and good timepieces that were booming all over the place was also that the Monks and Priests and Religious and others could say the Liturgy of the Hours throughout the day.

I suppose to this nowadays in many placeswould cause a complaint from the City Nuisance Board.
