Yesterday I was reliably informed that it was 200 years ago since William Wilberforce championed the cause of slaves, and Slavery was abolished in Britain.
What a great man he must have been to fight for the rights of those who couldn't speak for themselves.
Indeed, it was his strong Christian faith and belief in Gods Word which surely was the bedrock and foundation of all that he did for the plight of slaves and the country of Great Britian .
Which books are worth reading on Wilberforce? Does anyone know? Help!!
To mark this excellent anniversary, there is a movie out called "Amazing Grace" retelling this very story. Check out their website for the trailer, resources for youth groups and classrooms.
Remarkable then that 200 years later, Parliament have been busy passing legislation to limit the freedom of Christians and our beliefs!
