2. What does it mean that Explorers is a Christian co-op?
Explorers is a group comprised of Christian families from many traditions. The majority of our members are socially, religiously, and morally conservative and respect the sanctity of life in all of its many stages. We do encourage our co-op teachers to open their classes with prayer, praying in a way in which all in the class may participate. As Christians, we share much in common, but also recognize that significant doctrinal differences exist. Because of this, we show profound respect and charity for those differences, striving to be neutral and balanced in Christian classroom teaching that touches on those differences. We want to honor and uphold the God-given parental authority and respect family beliefs.
