Amazing Grace: Legacies at 250

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN EARLIER VERSION OF THE FILM. PLEASE SEE THE UPDATED FILM ON THIS CHANNEL or go to    • Amazing Grace: Legacies at 250   The hymn Amazing Grace was written in the town of Olney, UK by the Rev'd John Newton for the morning service on New Year's Day 1773 at the church of St Peter & St Paul. Today the Cowper & Newton Museum shares the history of the life of John Newton and of this hymn which, since making its debut in the Buckinghamshire market town, has become internationally known. Less known is the life story of John Newton, a naval seaman and slave ship captain before a religious conversion led him to become a clergyman and a key figure in Britain’s Abolitionist Movement. 2023 was the hymn's 250th anniversary and the Amazing Grace 250 Project and Programme explored what the hymn means to people today.
