We must start the ball rolling to send Sil to this International Colloquim, her 4,088 posts in this forum and many more on other forums bears testimony to her incredible knowledge, who can have a better CV than hers? In addition to the Christian aspects Sil is well versed with other religions, having trekked to other parts of the world.

I hope that Sil can start to prepare her abstract, I am sure the thousands of pilgrims who have benefited from her practical non-judgmental advise will happily sign the petition as references.

I couldn't agree more. Sil's knowledge of every aspect of the Camino is encyclopedic. And what a generosity of spirit! We are all blessed by how much she gives of herself to help other pilgrims. I hope you can go to this, Sil.
