When I live in San Francisco, I sometimes passed the Church of St. John Coltrane. That and Atlanta's First Existentialist Church are the two churches that make the most sense to me, in terms of an actual connection between spirituality, keeping our spirits up, politics, philosophy, community and the deeply passionate spirituality of art.
Here's your chance to check it out:

What your attendance will support: In today's Candler Park, the little-known biracial origins of the neighborhood are our basis for respectful interactive education within the larger multi-cultural community. Currently, our Historic Marker Initiative is underway to place informative markers at well-documented African American Legacy Sites in Candler Park and the neighborhood.
