" (original caption) Exterior view of the Angelus temple. Signs on the building advertise "'Holy Fire' Service, Easter Sunrise, 5:30am" and "4 Services Daily; Great Pentecostal Revival." A marquee over the door reads, "Aimee Semple McPherson, Sunday at 7:00pm. 'The Head that Wears the Crown!' Vividly Illustrated." Crowds gather around the entrances. The Angelus Temple, located in Echo Park in Los Angeles, was founded by evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson in 1923. It accommodates 5,300 people, and its domed structure is topped by a large, conspicuous neon cross. McPherson, who conducted all of the sermons during its early years, was known for incorporating Hollywood and vaudeville style entertainment techniques into her sermons. She was the first woman to own and operate a Christian radio station, and performed numerous charitable works during the Great Depression. Angelus Temple is the center of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, also founded by McPherson. In 1992, Angelus Temple was designated a National Historic Landmark. As of 2008, it is still in active use." Orig Subject: Aimee Semple McPherson |
