Scholar's Circle - St. Catherine University

I just had a wonderful scholar's circle presentation on my book: An Intricate Tapestry (http://www.kirkhouse.com/Books/An_Intricate_Tapestry).  There were lots of good questions.  One person was a missionary kid in Madagascar and shared many similar experiences.  Another saw a parallel between the MK experiences returning from Korea and the experiences of our immigrant and refugee students and wondered how we could make their acculturation easier.  Still another adopted children from Korea and bought a copy of the book to share with them.  Other topics that came up in discussion included spirituality, white privilege, and acculturation to new environments within the the United States. It is amazing the many discussions and parallel experiences we found.  The book will soon be available in the St. Kate's bookstore - at least on the Minneapolis Campus.
