Patterns of Liberation: Tracking Christ

Patterns of Liberation: Tracking Christ – October 3, 2021

This is the first sermon in a four-part series focusing on our church’s abolitionist heritage and connection with the Undergound Railroad. Each week will focus on a different pattern from Ozella’s Quilt Code that can be found in the book Hidden in Plain View. This week our focus is the Bear’s Paw pattern, and the Scripture texts are Psalm 26 and Hebrews 1:1-4; 2:10-12. "Bear’s Paw: A pattern used as a visual reference reminding the fugitives to follow the actual trail of a bear's footprints through the mountains. These footprints would undoubtedly indicate the best and safest path and would also lead to food and water." -- The Hebrews text talks about Christ as the "exact imprint of God's very being" and our unity in God. Bear tracks and Christ’s imprint as metaphors for path to liberation.
