Attachment Theory & Spiritual Growth with Amie Aitken

Recovering God: The Conversations

Rev. Amie Aitken is the second woman in the history of the Baptist Union of Scotland to appointed sole pastor of a church. She was adopted at the age of three, has grown up in the church and that is where her interest in the intersection of faith and attachment comes from.
She has been a foster parent and speaks openly about adoption in her advocacy work with 'Home For Good', which aims to place every vulnerable child into fostering or adoption by working with Christian churches.
Through her work she is seeking to help churches become trauma-informed places of care both in general and specifically for care-experienced families.
Any views or opinions given by Amie are her own and not necessarily representative of her congregation.

RGP History

Alison & 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 in 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 - August 2021 Alison carried on without her.

In August 2021, Alex & Amy joined Alison and they became the three AAAs.

Alex moved to a new, exciting job and now there is a new team. Listen to the episode 'Then There Were 6 - New Team, Same Great Episode' for more information about the team.

The Recovering God Podcast has been in existence since the summer of 2019. The team has changed over those years but we're delighted to still be offering relevant discussions covering the broad topics of feminism and the Christian faith!
