Mentioned in the IntroductionSoundcloud podcast: Diverse Theology with Chine McDonald from the last podcast episode and Wilda Gafney who has written books that we haver recommended before: https://soundcloud.com/casey-strine/a-diverse-theology-gafney-mcdonald-podcast-production-postedRGP HistoryAlison & Grace were having a conversation in the summer of 2019 about podcasts and they weren't aware of any at the time that spoke to their context, so they decided to set one up. You can hear more about their thinking about the podcast on the Introductions episode. Grace & Alison worked on the podcast together for the first year but Grace had other commitments that meant she had to give the podcast up, so from February 2021 the podcast is carrying on without her. We are still hoping to have new podcast co-hosts, maybe even a team. Could it be you? Do get in touch.If you have any comments, please let us know at: · RecoveringGodPodcast@gmail.com.
