the church was not started by alice coltrane. in fact was took them to court
for using john's name. the church is on divisadero. they do free meals for
the homeless and play coltrane music during the meals. i never went but had
friends who did. and know one person who is invloved the free jazz drummer
and saxophonist robert haven. as far as i know they used the music of john
coltrane as a spiritual sacrament.
alice after john died got into hinduism thru satindenanada (sp). she never
had anything to do with the church
