The DIY Bunko Breakfasts are now officially underway. And Michael Gowin (the guy in the blue shirt) has a great dispatch on what happened at his gathering.

Gowin, who teaches at Lincoln Christian College in Illinois, assembled a half-dozen colleagues for a brunch and discussion. You can read his report here. What I was most taken by are some of the questions the group raised. Some examples:

-- If there's no plan (or road map), is there at least a compass?
-- Does persistence *trump* talent, or does it develop it?
-- What is the role of character?
-- Could Johnny have learned these lessons as effectively without Diana's assistance and authority?

It's all great stuff -- including how participants at this theologically-informed school related the Bunko lessons to Scripture.  

As I've said many times, authors might get the first word -- but we don't (and shouldn't) get the last word. This is what it's all about, folks: Changing the world one conversation at a time.

Watch for more Bunko Breakfast reports as they roll in from all corners of the world.
