Permissions
Everything on this site is free to print and copy for your home, your church, your homeschool co-op and your classroom. You do not need to ask first. If you republish the press’s own writing or layouts, credit Household Theology Press with a link to the page you used. Scripture quotations follow their publishers’ terms.
What may I print and copy?
Print as many memory cards, copywork pages, schedules and question pages as you need, for any number of children, families or classes. Hand them out, photocopy them, laminate them and put them on the wall. No sign-up and no fee, ever. The site is free and non-commercial: it sells nothing, carries no ads and asks for no donations.
Who owns the catechism texts?
No one. The Westminster Shorter Catechism (1647) and the Catechism for Young Children (1840) are in the public domain, as are the Westminster Assembly’s Scripture proof references. Copy them freely. Each catechism page names the edition it follows so you can check it.
What licence covers the press’s own material?
The press’s own material is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0). That means the notes for parents, the discussion questions, the guides, the resource directory and the designs of the printables. You may copy, adapt and republish them, even commercially, as long as you give credit.
Attribution is a link to the page. Name Household Theology Press and link to the exact page you used, for example: “Adapted from Household Theology Press, householdtheologypress.com/westminster-shorter-catechism/question-1/”. On paper, print the address. That link is all the licence asks, and it helps other families find the rest of the library.
What does the licence not cover?
The CC BY licence covers the press’s original material only. It does not cover the Scripture quotations, which are from the NET Bible. NET text remains the property of its publisher and is used under the publisher’s own terms, set out below. If you reuse a page that quotes Scripture, follow those terms for the quoted verses.
The fonts are licensed separately under the SIL Open Font License; see the font licence file.
How is Scripture quoted here?
All Scripture on this site is quoted from the NET Bible: the proof texts on the Westminster Shorter Catechism pages and the passages featured in the guides. The verse text is quoted without the NET translator notes, and each quotation ends with “(NET)” linked to the NET Bible. The NET Bible’s publisher allows its text to be quoted in a free, non-commercial publication without written permission, on these terms. That is why this site quotes the NET, and one reason it will stay non-commercial.
Scripture quoted by permission. Quotations designated (NET) are from the NET Bible® copyright ©1996, 2019 by Biblical Studies Press, L.L.C. http://netbible.com All rights reserved
The site currently quotes 630 distinct verses from the NET Bible.
What about privacy?
The site sets no cookies and runs no analytics, advertising or tracking scripts. Fonts are served from this site, and pages make no requests to other companies. The web host keeps ordinary server logs to run the site. If you email the press, your message is used only to reply to you.
Who do I ask about anything else?
