Thank you for posting this!

I know that back when I was Lutheran I discovered that the LCMS used to include the Apocrypha their Bibles, when the Concordia Publishing House in St. Louis still printed the Bibles in German. When they switched to just English, the “extra” books were dropped. I NEVER heard anything mentioned about them in church growing up and they were never used in liturgy. Thank God I found the Orthodox Church and now see how we’ve impoverished our faith tradition in the West by being ignorant of these scriptures.
