Justice is the Fabric of a Healthy Society

When a society such as ours creates a system to punish wrong doers, to defend innocents, to correct mistakes and to restore liberties, we expect that justice will be delivered. When within a society a ministry dedicated to children and families is empowered, we expect that it will protect the vulnerable, accurately assess people, and repair broken situations.

Love is the thread .Woven from billions of such threads, justice is the resultant strong and integrated fabric. The fabric is known by the name of integrity and it can be fashioned into a garment prepared for residents of earth. It is the fabric of a healthy society.  

Injustice occurs when countless numbers of these threads are pulled from the garment. As the holes enlarge, the wearer of the garment is uncovered and vulnerable.

A work of justice becomes essential to mend the rips and tears that have occurred in the fabric of a society and its governance. The repair consists of the replacement of frayed threads. That work must begin again with love.

JUSTICE IN ANY LANGUAGE - THIS IS NOT IT!


For some time a large team of international supporters of Ayn Van Dyk have been advocating for her release from the care of the Ministry of Children and Family Development because we believe that this autistic 10 year old should be at home with her father and her two brothers. We believe that her removal was unnecessary and reactive and uninformed. We believe that having separated her from the father she loves for six months now is not in her best interests. Some weeks ago we articulated our message in several languages (English, Chinese, Italian, French, Polish, German) and these are available and being broadcasted.  THIS IS NOT JUSTICE
