When the specter of eviction began to loom over the 1971-founded St. John Coltrane Church this past February, Archbishop Franzo King told SFist that his congregation was concerned but far from defeated.

"This is what this church is all about," King said. "We don't bow, we don't cow, we ain't going along to get along." In April, the Church learned it would indeed be evicted, though it was granted a 60-day reprieve at that time. Seeking to relocate but remain in the historic Fillmore District, King told the Examiner that “With God, all things are possible...But we don’t know if something is available [in the Fillmore].”

Now there's good word from Hoodline: Saint Cyprian’s Episcopal Church at Turk and Lyon, in many ways a kindred spirit of the Coltrane Church, has agreed to temporarily share its space.

“We started off as a neighborhood church when the Western Addition was predominantly black," St. Cyprian's father Thomas C. Jackson told Hoodline. "We’re trying to be a bridge between what used to be and what is becoming so that everyone can live together," Jackson added to the neighborhood blog. “St. John Coltrane transcends things like race and class and economic barriers — the music does that.”

The two religious institutions will hold their own separate services on Sundays at 2097 Turk: Saint Cyprian's at 10:10 a.m., and Saint Coltrane's at noon. This Christmas, they plan to work together on a jazz-oriented holiday service and celebration.
