David Batstone in Melbourne
April 03, 2007
A few of us managed to catch up with David Batstone over the weekend. David is the Executive Editor of Sojourners magazine and wrote the book 'Saving the Corporate Soul'. He was in town to make people aware of his work over the last few years investigating slavery worldwide. He estimates that there are 27 million enslaved people today. His journey to Australia coincided with the 200th anniversary of the slave trade’s abolition in Britain. William Wilberforce was the driving force behind this campaign 200 years ago and a movie entitled 'Amazing Grace' will be out soon.
