William Wilberforce


Yesterday was the 250th anniversary of the birth of one of my heroes, William Wilberforce. You can watch an interesting, short video about him here if you don't know what an amazing person he was. And the film about him, Amazing Grace, was also very well done. Who can argue with Ioan Gruffudd as Wilberforce, and Albert Finney as John Newton, after all?

Happy birthday, William!

oh my! I didn't know I missed Wilberforce's birthday. "Amazing Grace" is one of my favorite movies!
