Chine McDonald: Morning sickness & racism in the Church
In this episode we interview Chine McDonald, Director of Theos and mum of two boys about her experience with hyperemesis gravidarum (extreme morning sickness) and issues around maternal mental health, and then we discuss her book ‘God is Not a White Man’ (2021) and the issues of racism in the Church in relation to being a parent.
KEY TOPICS
Topic #1 [5:10] Pregnancy and maternal mental health
We discuss Chine’s unfortunate experience with hyperemesis gravidarum (extreme morning sickness) and how she got through such a debilitating experience (including a very tricky interview with the ex-Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams). We then question whether there can be more pressure on Christian Mum’s to cope/not be open about their mental health when they’re struggling, and what the Church can do to help women and families better at this, sometimes overwhelming and all- consuming time of their life.
Topic #2 [21:43] God is Not a White Man and issues around race, the Church and parenting
We get Chine to give us a brief outline of how the image of God “as a white man” has perpetuated racism in the Church. We then turn to parenting black boys in modern culture, how being part of an interacial couple has affected parenting, and then we turn to Chine’s hopes and dreams for the Church in relation to her boys.
