To ring or not to ring, that is the question

Last night I arrived at the church early for a meeting. I sat in my car for awhile, thinking I would read or answer emails. Then I heard the most beautiful music coming from the belfry of my church. We have music playing every day from 5:00-6:00pm. It was so stunning, I rolled down the windows to hear better. I entered into prayer, as the music inspired me to do. And I was sad when promptly at 6:00pm, mid-song, the music abruptly stopped.
There are neighbors to the church who complain about the music. One says it makes their depression worse. Another says we are pushing our religious views on people who don't want to hear it. Hmmm. It is just instrumental music, so I'm not sure how that's pushing Jesus on anyone. Someone would have to recognize the tune and know that it was a hymn or religious song in order to be disturbed by its content.
I asked myself, "What would Jesus do?"  At first there was no answer. I searched the Scripture for noise and how it affected Jesus. I read how he would pull away from a noisy crowd to pray, but then he always went back into the fray to teach and to heal. The only "noise" that seemed to bother him was the questions of the Pharisees  and the clamor of the market at the Temple.
So, I didn't get much help from that. I had to pray for the answer.  I believe that I have found my answer: love everyone in Jesus' name. Love those neighbors in the name of Jesus. Love the church members that love the music. Focus all the attention on Jesus. Jesus would want us to live peaceably with our neighbors. Therefore, we limit the hours the music plays. Jesus also provided the most beautiful music for us to listen to over the sound system. It must not be silenced! We have decided that between 5 and 6 PM we have the best chance reaching the lost, as the cars often pile up at our intersection.
The psalms are constantly telling us to sing and praise. The New Testament gives us all hope that everything is in his care and we respond with praise. Paul and Silas were singing when the jail was opened and they were set free. Music is a vitally important part of our spiritual beings. It speaks to us on both the conscious and the subconscious level. Through the ages the church has been the source of many great and wonderful pieces of music that both teach and sooth. We need to keep singing his praise and sharing through our music. I started to build a defense of our music. I wanted to be ready for the next time the devil tried to silence our music.
I was all ready for the fight. But then something else hit me. The Lord himself says that the greatest commandments are to love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength AND to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Am I loving my neighbors? How do I love and accept their complaints and still keep the mission of reaching others for Christ? They do have a right not to hear the music, just as I have a right to play it. What would be the Christian response? I believe the compromise we have adopted was a loving gesture, and I pray it brought good will and good intentions to our neighbors.
At least for now, the music still plays on.....
