Molti riportano che ascoltando il disco A love supreme di John Coltrane hanno avuto la prova dell'esistenza di Dio e si sono convertiti.

Our primary mission at the St. John Will-I-Am Coltrane African Orthodox Church is to bring souls to Christ; to know sound as the preexisting wisdom of God, and to understand the divine nature of our patron saint in terms of his ascension as a high soul into one-ness with God through sound. In our praises we too seek such a relationship with God. We have come to understand John Coltrane in terms of his sound and as sound in meditative union with God.

We
are fully aware of the universality of John Coltrane's music and his
philosophy, and that his spirit and legacy does reach and touch the
lives of people of many different faiths, creeds, and religions. We,
however, in this time and place, are grateful for the opportunity to
lift up the Name of Jesus Christ through Saint John Coltrane's music,
knowing from personal experience and testimony, and from a great cloud
of witnesses, that the Spirit of the Lord is in this Sound Praise as it
is delivered from heaven through John. A questo punto ... preghiamo insieme
