# Westminster Daily

> A daily reading site that walks through the Westminster Confession of Faith,
> the Westminster Larger Catechism, and the Westminster Shorter Catechism in
> one year, following Dr. Joseph Pipa Jr.'s calendar of readings. Each day's
> reading is paired with its Scripture proof texts (English Standard Version)
> and an audio recording. A sister site, Heidelberg Weekly, walks through the
> Heidelberg Catechism one Lord's Day at a time.

The Westminster Standards (the Confession of Faith, the Larger Catechism, and
the Shorter Catechism) are historic Presbyterian and Reformed doctrinal
documents and are in the public domain. Scripture proof texts quoted on this
site are from the English Standard Version (ESV), copyright 2001 by Crossway
Bibles, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers, and are used by
permission; the ESV text itself is not public domain.
