Lord Carey

Former Archbishop of Canterbury

Our communities are fragmented, so there is no natural support system for mental illness anymore, says Lord Carey. Instead, this former Archbishop of Canterbury supports 'taking out pews' to create 24-hour churches, functioning as community centers. Outspoken Carey, once leader of 70 million Anglicans worldwide, also supported the ordination of female priests. He was the first former archbishop to write an autobiography, saying he's 'familiar with the knocks of life.'

Ingrid Betancourt

Held Hostage by the Columbian FARC

The Columbian presidential candidate was held in the jungle, mistreated and tortured, until she, and 14 other hostages, were rescued by the Colombian military six years later. Betancourt, who has a son and daughter, wrote a book about her ordeal and received international bravery awards. 'It was a battle, not only with the guerrillas, but with our inner selves.'
