Join best-selling author, humanitarian, and President of Emmaus UK, Terry Waite CBE, in conversation with Cathy Rentzenbrink.
In 1987, as the Church of England’s special envoy, Terry went to Beirut to negotiate the release of a broadcast journalist that had been kidnapped by jihadi terrorists. Terry was taken hostage as well and held in solitary confinement for almost five years before both men were released in 1991.
Since his release, Terry has dedicated himself to writing, lecturing and humanitarian causes. He founded Hostage International, a charity to help captives and their families, is a patron of several organisations, President of Emmaus UK, and a bestselling author.
Together with Cathy, Terry will be discussing his own experiences of captivity in the context of recent national and global lockdowns, as well as his versatility as an author, and the organisations he supports.
In this exclusive online event in aid of Emmaus Cornwall, Terry will also answer participants’ questions in an exclusive live online Q&A.
