"No man, has a right to be idle...Where is it, that in such a world as this, health, and leisure, and affluence may not find some ignorance to instruct, some wrong to redress, some want to supply, some misery to alleviate?"
-William Wilberforce, A Practical View of Christianity [see Matt. 5:16]
Amazing Grace the movie is the story of William Wilberforce, leader of the anti-slavery movement in Britain's Parliament in the 18th century. Under the advice of John Newton, Wilberforce remained in parliament to serve as an Evangelical Christian in government. As a result of his leadership, the British Empire made slave trading illegal in 1807 and abolished slavery in 1833 - just 3 days before his death.
