Cornel West: How deep is your love?

2010 August 31

What we’re really talking about, I think, is a certain kind of moral clarity and a certain kind of moral courage, and a certain kind of genuine moral compassion. And it comes from a variety of different traditions, so that we don’t want to get too obscure in our discourse, and not really just put on the table something that’s very simple. How deep is your love? What is the quality of your service to others? Are you concerned about those on the margins, or do we define a catastrophe only when it relates to investment bankers and Wall Street elites, as opposed to the precious children in chocolate cities? Or white children in Appalachia? Or red children in Navajo reservations? What are we going to do? What are we willing to risk? What costs are we willing to actually undergo? You can’t be a Christian, if you’re not willing to pick up your cross. And, in the end, be crucified on it. That’s the bottom line. The rest of it just sounding brass and tinkling symbols. How deep is your love?

Cornel West in conversation with Bill Moyers, Serene Jones, and Gary Dorrien, available here.
