Both John Newton and William Wilberforce had conversion experiences and became Evangelical Christians and both were Abolitionists. Wilberforce asked John Newton if he should preach and Newton convinced Wilberforce that he could be most effective in fighting the slave trade by remaining in Parliament. While they had different careers, they both worked together for the abolitionist movement. Wilberforce did some preaching. At that time it was illegal for a layman to preach in the same church more than once every six months. We do where he may have preached. Newton was a good friend of Whitefield, a great Calvinist evangelist of the great awakening. He too opposed slavery. At this point we can assume that Whitefield, Newton, Wilberforce, and Cowper composed a team opposing slavery.

Is John Newton related to Oliva Newton John?
No. Olivia Newton-John is not related to John Newton. Although they have similar last names, Newton is not really her last name at all. I believe it was her father's mother's maiden name, and they added it to the -John because when they moved to Australia there were too many Johns out there. Olivia Newton-John, however, IS related to Max Born, a nobel prize winning physicist. ;3
