Aimee Semple McPherson

[Spirit of Pentecost]

I looked through all of the Christian Forums thread topics here, but I didn't see anywhere I could post this, so here it goes...

Aimee Semple McPherson (also known as Sister Aimee or The Sister) was a Canadian-American evangelist, known for bringing "conservative Christianity into the mainstream". According to the American Experience episode featuring Sister Aimee, she was Charismatic and controversial.

I'm assuming that most of the Pentecostals/Charismatics here know of Sister Aimee, and if you do, was she of the Trinitarian or Oneness faith? I've searched all over the Internet, but I haven't found any concrete evidence pointing any way specifically.

And, too, should she be listed as Pentecostal or Charismatic? Some have called her Pentecostal, although in some places it states that Sister Aimee avoided being labeled Pentecostal because the denomination was relatively new and highly controversial during her heyday, and she wanted to appeal to a wider audience. Would this make her simply Charismatic?

I'd like to find some solid answers to these questions, because I am preparing a biography of Sister Aimee that I would like to share with some people within my church and for my own personal biography collection.

Any help here???

One might wonder how extensive of an undertaking you are prepared to involve yourself with, as these things are not shelved away. No. two of her Foursquare compiled statement is readily seen and unquestionably – Trinitarian. I am not sure this is the place to post on that, but again, it is available through searching the web.

There is a closed thread on this site concerning her Church seen here.

You might want to consider that section to petition for further information on her.

I considered taking my discussion over to the Foursquare Church thread, but that thread is close to ten years old, and I seriously doubt people are going to go back to it. Some of those members may not even participate any more. I think I will just keep my discussion going here. I want my discussion to be about Sister Aimee, not just the church she founded (which was a great achievement, but there was more to her than that).
