I've watched several movies lately and I've enjoyed them all to some level. However, last night I watched Amazing Grace, depicting the efforts of William Wilberforce, MP in the House of Commons circa 1800 as he tries to bring an end to the slave trade among the British Empire. The movie was very touching and powerful and even writing about it makes me emotional. Slavery is a great evil, and men like Wilberforce should not be forgotten for their greatness. And in spite of recent efforts to portray Christians as racist rednecks or hypocrites, this film showed that it was Wilberforce's spiritual transformation as a Christian that allowed him to bring such a great change to the most powerful state on the earth at the time.
