Thinking Christianly

This post is related to Chapter 2 in Blamires' book The Christian Mind. My question for you is this, What is a "thinker" and more specifically, what does a "Christian thinker" look like? Blamires noted that "There is nothing in our experience, however trivial, worldly, or even evil, which cannot be thought about christianly" (p. 45). How does this apply to us as communicators who are Christ-followers? What do you think?

Ethics Cloud

I'm always on the look-out for news stories that highlight a class that I am teaching. Well, here's the first of this semester. I am teaching Communication Ethics (online) and came across this story on the many recent ethical dilemmas that several politicians are facing.

I guess I'm trying to figure out what an "ethics cloud" is? Any ideas? Are ethics clouds good or bad? Do they have silver linings?

Why don't we hear of "good" ethics? It seems that the only press time that ethics gets is when a corporate executive embezzles money or when a politician makes an immoral decision. Strange.
