- Summary:
- AIMEE SEMPLE McPHERSON was a celebrity evangelist, famous for founding the Angelus Temple, an original megachurch. A savvy businesswoman, Aimee was the first woman to use radio to preach the gospel. In fact she owned her own station and was as popular as Babe Ruth and FDR. During the Great Depression she opened a 24-hour commissary feeding and clothing anyone in need, welcoming people of all religions and backgrounds, including immigrants who were often shunned by other organizations. Known for her dramatic preaching, ecumenical spirit and broad-minded charity McPherson had tremendous influence. Minister Hyepin Im tells the story of this remarkable woman whose message was "to be a light in the world, to do good so that the world would seek your company and your partnership."
