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.
