Justice is love with its sleeves rolled up.

Faith is not meant to stay private. At Wellington Square, justice means showing up—with our neighbours in Burlington, with partners around the world, and in the unfinished work of reconciliation. We are learning as we go, and we want to keep becoming the kind of people who turn love into action.

  • “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”

    Archbishop Desmond Tutu

  • “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.”

    Elie Wiesel

  • “Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public.”

    Cornel West

  • "But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!"

Food and practical care

Every Friday, our Community Food Program helps make food, connection, and practical support more available in Burlington. At the Friday Hub & Lunch, more than 200 people gather each week—and about 150 more receive emergency food deliveries.

It is not charity from a distance. It is neighbours making sure neighbours have what they need to get through the week.

Global partnerships

Since 2006, Wellington Square has been connected with Hands and Hearts for Africa in Malawi. Together, we support practical, local work: meals through Efrida’s Kids Klub, farming families through the Bimbi Irrigation Project, and reintegration support through the Prison Fellowship Malawi Halfway House.

This is partnership, not a rescue project. We listen, learn, and support work already being led by people closest to it.

Truth, reconciliation & right relationship

Reconciliation is not a box to check or a statement to make. It is the ongoing work of learning and unlearning, listening more carefully, and discovering what it means to be good neighbours, allies, and advocates alongside Indigenous peoples.

Through book conversations, guest speakers, Blanket Exercises, advocacy, and our Right Relations Circle, we keep showing up for this unfinished work.

HELP JUSTICE GROW

We want to invest more here—and that takes people. If you care about practical, faithful action, help us build the next layer: coordinate a letter-writing campaign, share an advocacy opportunity, host a conversation, or help make the small, steady things happen.

You do not need to be an expert. You just need to be willing to learn, show up, and put some love into motion.
