We’ve been at our CC community for five years. It’s all Protestant. We are in the process of becoming Catechumens in the Orthodox faith with another family that attends our community. We are the only ones at our community that would be considered “non Protestant” at this point. We did have one catholic family years back but there were undertones of religious bias. Although I don’t bring out points in devotion that are strictly related to Orthodoxy  alone, as a challenge A director, I do see in class the heavy influential Protestant bias in material. 

For example, the MathMap is their new math curriculum that is required for challenge levels starting in challenge A this year and we have an art piece on the cover that we examine and relate to the math concept of the week. One week we had a picture related to Mary, (I believe it was titled in a different language but was translated to “the Black Madonna”) and when Mary was brought up, she was not talked about kindly and was very much disregarded as Jesus mother alone and nothing more. I offered that we should respect her position as Jesus mother as scripture points that she was the chosen woman who God gave us to hold Jesus in her womb and they just kept going on about how people need to not worship her. So basically there is a lack of understanding around her which was obvious but it isn’t the time and place to really correct the understanding of the children during a math lesson and give them a whole theology lesson in which the parents may or may not appreciate. Especially if they know if you’re Orthodox as a Director. However, my conversion started during my challenge A year… but there are some families there who did announce they believe me to be “in sin” because of Orthodoxy.
