Wilber a Musical

By: Osgood, Ralph

In the last two decades of the 18th Century, a young man from Yorkshire was elected to the British Parliament. His name was William Wilberforce. He was ambitious to make a name for himself. He could speak with ease and with clarity, and was marvelous in debate.

And he was well connected. He was allied with many young men, also entering Parliament at that time. But his closest friend and ally was William Pitt, soon to be the Prime Minister of England.

However, God had a bigger plan for Wilber, (as his friends called him). When on a holiday in France, Wilber met the Lord and became a Christian - much to his dismay. In fact, such was his state that he felt he needed to retire from the political scene - until confiding his struggle to the Reverend John Newton, (the author of 'Amazing Grace').

Wilber laid down his struggle and was led by the Lord to bring measures before Parliament to end the African slave trade.

This is his story, told in the form of a musical play.
