Aimee, like many of today's preachers was rolling in money, steeped in sex, and had no real connection with Jesus or God.

My mom was chosen to be on stage with her and a companion to her daughter. Though young, the stories she could tell of that time. Just say she didn’t have a lot of trust in evangelicals

Aimee Semple McPherson -- as Dorothy Parker described her, "that somewhat DIFFERENT entertainer"

I think it was staged. Her former radio station is now L. A.'s conservative talk station, but it went through numerous format changes, including a repeat of KIIS-FM, Big Bands, Sports, Progressive talk, etc.

And she had a problem with abusing both alcohol & sex. Most *interesting* launch of a new Christian sect. Kinda sounds like a number of current mega-church pastors here in the States!
