McPherson, Aimee Semple
McPherson, Aimee Semple (1890–1944) US evangelist who founded the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel (1927). McPherson's controversial brand of
evangelicalism incorporated faith healing and
glossolalia (speaking in tongues). In 1923 she opened the Angelus Temple in Los Angeles, California. McPherson also used the radio to broadcast her message of personal salvation. In 1926 she claimed to have been kidnapped and was unsuccessfully tried for fraud. McPherson's use of church funds saw further legal actions. See also
