Smouldering Row Between Aimee McPherson and Mother Flares
In Los Angeles on July 27 the feud between evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson and her mother Minnie Kennedy intensified with public accusations of manipulation and threats to crush the other. Kennedy, ousted as Angelus Temple business manager, claims McPherson stirred revolt. McPherson counters Kennedy threatened to close pul pits and has barred her from temple affairs. The dispute traces to last winter’s conspiracy charges and McPherson’s alleged kidnapping case, and both sides push for control of Angelus Temple and branch churches.
