“Father, Forgive: Of Human Bondage Into the Lions’ Den” - Andrew Hubsch Week II

George Fox / William Edmundson: early Quakers ask, “Why then the Negroe?” Francis Daniel Pastorius / Gerhard Hendricks / Abraham Op den Graeff / Dirck Op den Graeff: in 1688, four Deutsch émigrés proclaim equality under God William Wilberforce: Britain’s pioneering abolitionist Invisible Children - KONY 2012 campaign: across the Internet comes a global appeal against injustice “We are against the traffick of men Body: Is there any that would be done or handled at this manner, to be sold or made a slave for all the time of his life? Most Negers are brought hither against their will & consent; many of them are stolen. Now, tho’ they are black, we cannot conceive there is more liberty to have them slaves, as it is to have other white ones. That we shall do to all men, like as we will be done our selves; making no difference of what generation, descent, or Colour they are. Here is liberty of Conscience, wch is right & reasonable; here ought to be likewise liberty of ye body, except of evildoers. But to bring men hither, or to rob and sell them against their will, we stand against. In Europe there are many oppressed for Conscience sake; and here there are those oppressed wch are of a black Colour.”
