The New York Times interviewed West, 58, over the phone while he was on his way to visit Occupy protesters in Seattle. West said he was returning to Union because it is “the institutional expression of my core identity as a prophetic Christian,” adding that: “I don’t have that much time, and I want to be able to do precisely what I’m called to do.”
