If every church in America housed 2.5 unhoused people the crisis would be solved overnight.
Who am i kidding though, American churches don’t exist to help people they exist to tax tithe people
When I feed the poor, I’m called a Saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, I’m called a communist.
The quote is by a priest from South America. I think about that alot when I think about church.
To be fair, a lot of small community churches or other religious shelters seem to do a lot more than anyone else about the problem.
Debatable.
I work for a church. We do a LOT for the community. Free lunches under the bridge. Park clean ups every season. After school programs for kids.
But in no way are we even close to doing as much good as actual organized programs that have real leadership and get funding.
