Morality and the Ordinary
As an introduction, I asked my classes to identify important moral issues and then present them using a 5-10 minute mini play. Many groups took on the following: abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, racial discrimination, prostitution.
Following the train of thought of Jim Keenan's
Virtues for Ordinary Christians, I then proceeded to ask the students this: If you were to ask yourself now, "What are the things that I truly have to work on as a person?" Aren't these issues moral issues as well?
And since they are about things that I myself need to work on, isn't it more important than those aforementioned issues?
