Description
The Clapham Sect: A Web of Family and Faith Stephen Tomkins explores the fascinating story of the Clapham Sect, a group of evangelical Christians who campaigned for the abolition of slavery and promoted missionary work in England from 1790 to 1830. The sect's members were bound together by family ties, including father and son, aunt and nephew, and husband and wife relationships. At the heart of the story are the famous campaigns against the slave trade and slavery itself, as well as the group's efforts to promote home and foreign missions, charity, and politics. Tomkins delves into the personal stories of key figures, revealing the complex web of relationships that shaped their actions and decisions. The book concludes by assessing the long-term influence of the Clapham Sect on Victorian Britain and the Empire, offering a nuanced understanding of this pivotal period in British history.
