Professional Christian Communication: Implications for Pedagogy and Practice

Session Submission Type: Panel Discussion

Abstract

Professional Christian communicators and the educators who prepare them face significant challenges at the turn of the millennium. What are those challenges? How do these challenges inform pedagogy and practice? How may the Christian communicator engage work as a calling in this historical moment? This session explores these challenges, taking a Catholic perspective as a point of entry into the larger discussion of the Christian communicator in general and education for a communicative calling.
