The fourth century bishop, Gregory of Nyssa, led the charge on ending slavery centuries before modern champions like William Wilberforce and Frederick Douglass ever stepped on to the stage.
His arguments regarding the value of human beings would fuel abolitionists and civil rights movements fifteen hundred years after he was dead.
If only we'd listened sooner.
