Church sells its own ringtones

Ananova reports that St Petri church in Hamburg (Germany) has taken to selling Christian ring tones to fund the restoration of its organ.

For the equivalent of about £1.40p, worshippers can download one of five hymn tunes from the website .

Church musician Thomas Dahl says he is confident the church will succeed in the competiitive ringtone market. "We offer melodies that have been popular for centuries," he said.

Worshippers at St Petri's need to raise nearly £150,000 for the restoration of their church organ.
