The Saint John Coltrane Church is an African Orthodox (since 1982, when they declared St. Coltrane merely a saint and not, in fact, Christ incarnate (an idea almost as bizarre as a white Jesus)) church founded by Franzo and Marina King in 1971 as the "One Mind Temple Evolutionary Transitional Body of Christ." The church's founders claim that they were inspired by a 1965 John Coltrane concert at which Franzo felt "the presence of God." Franzo King refers to this epiphany as a "sound baptism which touched their hearts and minds," and claims that 'Trane was not just a jazz musician "but one who was chosen to guide souls back to God." They are really into A Love Supreme.[1][2]
