The full humour of Terry Waite comes through in this entertaining collection of true life travels with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie.
In contrast to his earlier bestseller TAKEN ON TRUST, this amusing new book shows another side to the man who was a hostage in Beirut for five years. Yet it retains his carefully written prose and powers of description.
In Lagos Terry Waite had to stop an official motorcade in order to lean out of the Archbishop’s car to be sick. In Scotland, Waite is recognised on the street by a passer by, but the Archbishop, dressed in open-neck shirt, is not. “Come and have a wee dram and bring your friend along too.”
Every story amuses, and in doing so the ancient Episcopalian Church of England is revealed in a new light. All too rarely does the Church laugh at itself. Here is a Christmas book for the very widest of audiences.
