But Williamson’s own sense of entitlement has angered her common-folk flock. While it’s been only a year since Steven Tyler surprised the congregation with an Aerosmith-tinged gospel set list, it seems the good times are no longer rolling. The glam guru recently said she’ll resign her position at Michigan’s Renaissance Unity Church at the year-end. Williamson claims to want a change, but says she’ll speak at the church on a freelance basis. “I’m not leaving because of something inside the church,” she says. “There’s a blessing to being more of a free agent.” Some church members couldn’t be happier. “She told us the church is not a democracy,” says Kathleen Kramer, who resents Williamson’s “anti-male” attitude. David Wenger, a seven-year church member, says Williamson virtually ignored the Bible. What now? Williamson says she wants a radio gig. Sounds like a match made in heaven.
