News you can Use! - Sacrament Meeting Music Selection

Here's some "News you can Use!" - right from the church Music Q & A web site.  A question that often comes up...

Does the Church have a policy that only hymns can be used as music in sacrament meeting?
“The hymns are the basic music for worship services and are standard for all congregational singing. In addition, other appropriate selections may be used for prelude and postlude music, choir music, and special musical presentations. If musical selections other than the hymns are used, they should be in keeping with the spirit of the hymns. Texts should be doctrinally correct” (Handbook 2: Administering the Church [2010], 14.4.2). (See also “Hymns for Congregations,” Hymns, 380-81.)
