Pursue a big dream. Engage with politics. Speak up for the voiceless. Advance against opposition. Persevere through disappointment. Elected to parliament at the age of twenty-one, William Wilberforce championed the abolition of the slavery in the British Empire and led a diverse coalition of campaigners in a decades-long struggle to end the lucrative but dehumanising slave trade. As Britain celebrates the abolition of the slave trade 200 years ago, Nicky Gumbel sets out five lessons we can learn as Christians from the life of a man whose faith and commitment changed the world.
