In Christ there are no longer slave or free, for we are all one in Christ. There is a controversial Christian group based in Switzerland that claims to have bought the freedom for over 21,000 slaves in Sudan (as of early 2000). The group, Christian Solidarity International, has been in operation since 1995. The organization purchases the freedom slaves, most of whom are Christians. But opponents of the group say that by paying money to slave owners, they are in effect encouraging the slave trade in that nation.
