She used to regale our family gatherings with a polaroid photo of herself and her mother, in which the image of Jesus could supposedly be seen reflected off an aluminum garden shed in the immediate background. Weird, to say the least. I think that was the impression the rest of the family got as well. We just don't go in for that sort of thing.
That's all I know about AoG, and all I ever cared to find out. My suspicion though, is that many garden-variety Catholics and Protestants will find her outre religious practices rather alarming. My mom is fairly churchy Lutheran, but she's repulsed by the shout-and-holler Pentacostals. As she told me last week "I just can't condone that." My Catholic dad simply called her a "snake handler."
