ABC 20/20 Accompanies Terry to Medjugorje

Terry was contacted by ABC 20/20 about doing a story on Medjugorje. The producers wanted to center on a person, and asked Terry to be the center of the story. Terry refused and told them that if he took them to Medjugorje, they needed to do the story on the Virgin Mary. Though shocked that Terry passed up this opportunity to be the focus of the piece, the producer agreed to Terry's terms, that the Virgin Mary would be the focus of the segment.
