Abolitionists are driven by a desire to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with their God (Micah 6:8). Abolitionists are not interested in merely abstaining from evil themselves, but are committed to exposing evil and bringing it into conflict with the truth of Christianity (Ephesians 5:11).
English belongs to the Germanic family of Indo-European languages. Old English (also known as Anglo-Saxon) had two main dialects. The Anglic dialect gave its name to the language, but the Saxon dialect eventually evolved into Modern English.
Etymology [edit]. From a conflation of several terms; some native to English and others borrowed from fellow Germanic languages, that are all ultimately derived from Proto-Germanic *slÄ«kanÄ â(â to creep, crawl â), from Proto-Indo-European *sleig- , *sleiÇµ- â(â to glide, smooth, spread â).
