Gordon Lindsay: From Angelus Temple to Branham
- 9 months ago
James Gordon Lindsay was William Branham's campaign manager from 1947 until the mid-1950s. Branham and Lindsay published The Voice of Healing magazine and Lindsay was a key figure in The Voice of Healing Revival that merged with the Latter Rain movement. In 1953, Lindsay issued an ultimatum for Branham over doctrinal positions in white supremacy, which led to a heated battle between Joseph Mattsson-Boze's Herald of Faith and Voice of Healing.
Lindsay was converted to the Parhamite cult in high school by Charles Fox Parham himself, and In the early 1930s, Lindsay toured the country with Parhamite John G. Lake. Later in the 30s, Lindsay joined Aimee Semple McPherson's cult of personality to become a minister and evangelist for the Foursquare church. Freda Lindsay, Gordon's wife, was a student of McPherson's bible school. Together, Gordon and Freda formed a husband-and-wife evangelistic team. After a series of revivals in Tacoma, Gordon and Freda became co-pastors of the Tacoma Foursquare church. They held that position until February 1939, when Gordon Lindsay was appointed to the position of "field extension work" for the McPherson's Four Square organization. Interestingly, Lindsay's transition came shortly after McPherson appointed Gerald B. Winrod as her temporary replacement in November 1938.
Like Winrod, Lindsay was a strong supporter of British Israelism. When Winrod was named a nazi conspirator by the Seventy-Sixth Session of Congress in January of 1940, Gordon Lindsay began touring through the United States and Canada for the "Anglo-Saxon Christian Association" Lindsay also began hosting "America in Prophecy" presentations with End-of-Days scenarios that he claimed to be the result of Biblical Prophecy and numerology.[12] Though Lindsay was not named in the Great Sedition Trial of 1944 along with Winrod, it was very apparent that Lindsay supported Winrod's position.
In 1940, Lindsay was the opening speaker for the Anglo-Saxon Christian Movement Convention and held daily meetings to answer questions about the British Israel doctrine. Clem Davies, also a member of the Anglo-Saxon movement[14] and a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, joined Lindsay in the conferences.
