Sister Aimee: The Unbelievable But True Tale Of Aimee Semple McPherson

January 20, 2017 @ 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM

Sister Aimee: The Unbelievable But True Tale Of Aimee Semple McPherson

Aimee Semple McPherson (Broadway)

You may now know the story of Aimee Semple McPherson – but that is all the more reason to come to this absolutely unique, fascinating multimedia presentation. Sister Aimee turned her good looks, spectacular voice, and undeniable charisma into a career as the first radio evangelist in America. She was the founder of a mega-church and enormously important to the world of evangelical Christianity. She was a superstar and widely admired. But when she was kidnapped and turned up later in the desert under mysterious circumstances, the mystery and the legend were  just beginning! Aimee: Good Or Awful?

Was Sister Aimee actually abducted? Or were the rumors true: that she ran off with a married lover? Some said it was just a publicity stunt gone wrong. Or a cover for nervous breakdown.

How did this beautiful woman with an alluring smile, glorious voice and clever mind use the medium of radio to spread her message – and was her message truly intended to serve the Church or truly intended to serve herself?  Don’t miss this fascinating session!Aimee Semple McPherson
