The abolition of slavery movement in Britain was rooted in a prophetic spirituality, an ethic of compassion and justice, and spiritual resiliency, and pioneered the development and refinement of social change tools (e.g., petitions, boycotts, etc.) and the strategic building of alliances, approaches that are now commonplace in social work practice and social movements. This article explores the spirituality of leaders in the abolition movement, and offers an overview of the tools and strategies of social change (network development, research, communications tools, and political advocacy and economic tools) employed by these leaders, highlighting their relevance for the current environmental justice movement. The article concludes with reflections on the role of spiritual resiliency in social work and the environmental movement
