About Us, the St. John Will-I-Am Coltrane African Orthodox Church's own account on its website, records its 1971 founding by Bishop Franzo King and Reverend Mother Marina King and its 1982 reception into the African Orthodox Church. Its strength is that it is a primary institutional source, the congregation's own authoritative record of its own founding history. Its limit is that it is the institution's own self account rather than an independent secondary study, so a claim about how outside observers or scholars have described the church should be checked against separate sources.
