Over at 9Marks there is a good article by Michael Horton: Transforming Culture with a Messiah Complex.

Near the end of the article, as an example, he speaks of the slave trade in England being stopped not by the church but by people such as Wilberforce who were “formed by the church’s ministry” that made the change.
