One  problem we suffer in many parishes involves an organist and/or 
choirmaster  
who believes a hymn isn’t done in a properly Godly manner if it isn’t at  
dirge 
tempo. Others absolutely follow the suggested tempos in the hymnal,  >>>>>>
 
 
There can be variance the other way, that is the tempo can be so fast
that the congregation quickly is out of breath and drops out.
 
Such is the case here with the Reformed Episcopal Church.   Imagine
your favorite hymn in a martial 2/2 time, and even faster.
Singing hymns with this organist becomes a somewhat amusing
game to see who turns blue first.
