The Wellspring Community of Australia is an inclusive ecumenical community which seeks justice and compassion for all humans and our earth as our response to the life of Jesus Christ and love of God for all creation.

The wellspring Community is in partnership with the Iona Community, known world-wide for its radical Christianity, poetic Celtic worship and engagement with local and global issues. The Wellspring Community was founded in 1992.

Wellspring Community Statement regarding the Attack in Bondi on 14 December 2025

Wellspring Community has joined a group of faith-based and community organisations, standing with Jewish Australians against the horrendous attack at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi on Sunday 14/12/25.

Violence committed against innocent people practising their faith has no place in Australia. We must all be free to gather in our communities and feel safe doing so. As multicultural Australians we stand together against violence, bigotry and racism.

We acknowledge the courage of the many paramedics and first responders, including Ahmed el Ahmed, a brave member of the public who tackled a gunman and potentially saved many lives.

As always, we caution against sharing untrusted social media content, scapegoating entire communities, and dehumanizing people of any religion or nationality.

We refuse to allow hatred to divide us. We stand together and will heal together. We need light, now more than ever, to dispel the darkness. We send our love and prayers to the Jewish community at this time.
