description Should the Committee of the B[ritish] & F[oreign] Bible Society circulate or contribute funds for circulating the Apocrypha? For UK and its languages can only circulate the authorised version of the Holy Scriptures (and then only if without notes or comments). Apocrypha forms no part of this thus cannot be involved in its circulation in UK or its languages. With regard to overseas and foreign languages the committee operates under lesser restrictions. Similar restriction on Holy Scriptures but not on other works. Apocrypha is not part of sacred canon but is an important ancillary. Greek, Roman and Reformed churches often circulate it with Holy Scriptures. Suggest that unless they provide it, or contribute to funds to its provision, where desired will lose many of those it wishes to spread the Gospel to or amongst and may even lead to criticism. Argues should circulate Apocrypha in foreign languages but only when included with the Holy Scriptures.
