I still have my old hymnal, but only for reference, it is far too delicate to carry to a meeting in anything other than a box.
Perhaps they had to ditch the old hymnal if they wanted to erase JI name from the history, I don't know.

And to think that I used to consider that hymnal was "inclusive." Hymnals are used by denominations to divide the body of Christ. The GLA just put out a new hymnal, and you would think that LSM would want their hymns to be included in another hymnal, so that "a
ll their riches could enrich the body of Christ." What a joke! LSM refused to grant such permission. I remember years ago hearing how poor, poor Christianity refused to give LSM such permission for their hymnal.
