Publisher's Synopsis
A Sect That Moved The World: Three Generations Of Clapham Saints And Philanthropists is a historical non-fiction book by John Telford. The book is a large print edition and explores the lives and works of three generations of Clapham saints and philanthropists who played a significant role in shaping the world we live in today. The book delves into the history of the Clapham sect, a group of Anglican evangelical reformers who were active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The book follows the lives of the leaders of the sect, including William Wilberforce, Henry Thornton, and Zachary Macaulay, and how their religious beliefs led them to become advocates for social justice and philanthropy. The book also explores the impact of the Clapham sect on the abolition of the slave trade, prison reform, and the establishment of missionary work.
