Two hundred years ago, British politician William Wilberforce and his band of loyal friends took on the most powerful forces of their day to end the slave trade. His mentor was John Newton, the slave-trader-turned-song-writer, who wrote the world's most popular hymn, Amazing Grace. This year is the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade. But the work of justice and mercy continues. 27 million men, women, and children are still enslaved around the globe. Join churches around the globe in singing Amazing Grace and in praying for the end of slavery once and for all. Register your church here.

Walden Media, the group behind the Chronicles of Narnia, Charlotte's Web, soon-to-be released Amazing Grace, and other recent hits, has teamed with X-Men 3 producer Ralph Winter to bring C.S. Lewis' "The Screwtape Letters" to the Big Screen. The film is set to release sometime in 2008. To read more on this project, click here.

How do the lifestyles of Americans define them - by their capacity to "do good" for others or by their willingness to indulge themselves? A new nationwide survey from The Barna Group shows Americans exhibit both traits - willingness to sacrifice and impulses toward self-oriented behaviors. The research examined 20 lifestyle elements, exploring what Americans do in a typical month - both to engage with people around them as well as to indulge their own perceived needs and preferences. On balance, adults are more likely to claim acts of kindness and responsible civic behavior than to admit to self-oriented activities. But the study also demonstrates millions of Americans engage in routines that benefit themselves, often flouting moral boundaries to do so. What do you think? Do you agree with their findings?
