Why Sing Hymns: Exploring the Retuned Hymn Movement

About

In the late 1990s, there arose a movement that in many ways was a reaction to the “seeker-sensitive” worship model that prevailed in many evangelical churches. The movement had its origin in RUF groups at college campuses mostly in the Southeast, and the group at Belmont became the most influential when they released the first Indelible Grace project in 2000. They have since went on to release 12 projects, including a documentary film of their 2010 concert at the historic Ryman Auditorium. In this event we will sing many of the retuned hymns that emerged from this movement, and Kevin Twit (RUF Campus Minister and founder of Indelible Grace Music) will share the stories behind the hymns and explore the reasons why students have resonated with this movement.
