What's the "1931-" about in Congregationalism?

Just wondering why the “Denomination” given for <a href="https://hymnary.org/hymnal/SHPW1827?page=0">this hymnal</a> says “Congregational Christian Churches, 1931-”, even though only five of <a href="https://hymnary.org/denomination/394?sort=date">the dozens of hymnals so categorized</a> are later than 1930. Also, why don't the links work even though the instructions say <a> is among the “Allowed HTML tags”….?

This is a standardized designation made by DNAH for a denomination. They may have just used the most recent iteration of the denomination. Congregational Christian Churches, 1931- is a denomination formed in 1931. However, this hymnal was published in 1827, so it does not belong with this denomination; it belongs with “Congregationalist Churches.” We have not sorted out all the DNAH denomination designations.

You might have to designate a link (but we do not allow linking outside of our website), or you can try the format “Full HTML”
