Aimee Semple
McPherson (October 9, 1890 – September 27, 1944), also known
as "Sister Aimee" was a Canadian-born
evangelist and media sensation in the 1920s and 1930s. She
was also the founder of the Foursquare Church. Aimee
McPherson spent several years, from 1918 to 1922 as an
itinerant Pentecostal preacher. She eventually
settled in Los Angeles. This was to be her base of
operation. There she maintained both a home and a church.
For several years she continued to travel and raise money
for the construction of a large, domed church building in
the Echo Park area of Los Angeles, named Angelus Temple.
The church Aimee McPherson built, was dedicated on January 1,
1923. The church had a seating capacity of 5,300 people and
was filled to capacity three times each day, seven days a
week. In the beginning, Aimee McPherson preached every service.
The church eventually evolved into its own denomination,
called the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel.
