On Friday night, as Hannah and Cora walked over to the school for a youth group "lock-in" event (a sleepover with lots of games and activities and food), Brian, Rebecca and I took a taxi over to a place called Rodeotown for dinner and a movie. We saw Amazing Grace, the movie that chronicles William Wilberforce's passionate work to end slavery in Britain and its colonies in the 1800s. If you haven't seen it, it is a fantastic movie (a great web site to check out is www.amazingchange.com; this site honours Wilberforce's work and challenges us to examine issues of modern-day slavery). On the way home we rode in a taxi that had the most amazing surround system imaginable. Combined with the computer/DVD player/TV screen/GPS device on the dashboard, this taxi provided an entertaining journey back to our apartment!
