Journey to Everest Base Camp

My journey to Nepal, Tibet, and to Everest Base Camp in Tibet was stunning and memorable. Here are some photographs of Everest at full moon, on Oct 4th, 2009, 8km from Tibet Base Camp. Log on to the SA Sunday Independent website for my article published on November 1, 2009.

I followed this trip with a visit to the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho, to Sehlabathebe National Park – a botanical treasure house of wild flowers and an area so remote that few people visit.

I have somehow found your book title with a few pictures. I am particularly interested in the multi-faith poster and wonder how I might obtain a copy.
I have been reading about the Methodist Church’s crisis over same-sex marriage. The United Church of Canada (part of our history is Methodism) went through that almost 20 years ago. We have survived. Our big issues now are a post-Modern and Post Christian, secular society.
Are there posters available or one to be sent by email or on the www?
Thanks-Marion
