    Hi David,

    Understandably (given the American background of the video makers) one thing that they didn’t include in their presentation was the important role that John Newton played in establishing the gospel in Australia. Craig Schwarze, who put this blog piece together, goes so far as to describe Newton as “the godfather of Australian Christianity”.
