Just like the Apocrypha, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints does not use the Journal of Discourses for the establishment of doctrine.
"The seven books which comprise the Protestant Apocrypha, first published as such in Luther's Bible (1534) are considered
canonical Old Testament books by the Catholic Church, affirmed by the
Council of Rome (AD 382) and later reaffirmed by the
Council of Trent; they are also considered canonical by the Eastern Orthodox Church and are referred to as
anagignoskomena per the
Synod of Jerusalem. The
Anglican Communion accepts "the Apocrypha for instruction in life and manners,
but not for the establishment of doctrine" (Article VI in the
Thirty-Nine Articles)",
[9] and many "lectionary readings in
The Book of Common Prayer are taken from the Apocrypha", with these lessons being "read in the same ways as those from the Old Testament".
[10] The first
Methodist liturgical book,
The Sunday Service of the Methodists, employs verses from the Apocrypha, such as in the Eucharistic liturgy.
[11] The Protestant Apocrypha contains three books (3 Esdras, 4 Esdras and the Prayer of Manasseh) that are accepted by many Eastern Orthodox Churches and Oriental Orthodox Churches as canonical, but are regarded as non-canonical by the Catholic Church and are therefore not included in modern Catholic Bibles.
