Do you have to be utopian about it?

This project rocks.  Show God to homeless, somehow, some way, and they change their lives.  Sounds like a war on poverty to me.

Just one thing about it makes me cringe: they speak of ending homelessness, which is utopian talk.  Heaven on earth is a contradiction unless said figurately. 

Reducing it, yes.  Reaching out and helping people, yes.  But changing the world?  If making it better, fine, but what’s the need for this global, even metropolitan viewpoint?
