In the late 1980s Grey's experience as a political hostage led him to found Hostage Action Worldwide, which worked for the release of other political hostages, in particular John McCarthy, Brian Keenan, Terry Waite and others held by Islamic groups in the Middle East.
Most recently he recorded a special Freedom Pass episode with Terry Waite.
On his way to Britain for the 1988 Lambeth Conference he undertook a highly secretive detour to Iran in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to secure the release of Terry Waite, the personal envoy of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and several other western hostages.
Much of the middle period of Runcie's archiepiscopate was taken up with the tribulations of two men who had been close to him—the suicide of Gareth Bennett and the kidnapping of Terry Waite.
