The moral imagination

So what is the, the measure of our humanity? You know, when you can ask yourself that question, what is the measure of my humanity? And where there is an absence, then how do I re-humanize not only myself, but how do I re-humanize, in my own view, um, those with whom I have the greatest differences? That's really a, an assignment for us.

And often, in almost every one of these, um, uh, series that we've done for now six years, we've asked John Paul Lederach, um, who has written many extraordinary books, including one that I, I love called The Moral Imagination.

And it's very much in Father Greg Boyle's, uh, sense of do you have the kind of moral imagination to actually see past the sort of ill deeds or unwholesomeness, uh, and hold that as, you know, one aspect.

But also to see into, you know, that unshakable goodness that is the ... at, at the heart of every human being, just as Father Greg Bole- Boyle describes it.
