But unfortunately, they lost this tradition and got stuck in a more modern traditionalism of associating one particular tune with one particular hymn. They are reminded of an incident a few years ago at the national meeting of their own denomination after a worship group had played a new version of Wesley's "And Can It Be" (the one that is on Indelible Grace's 1st CD by the way.) Many were upset by the new music and one gentleman stood an
