MACON, Ga. --Mayor Jack Ellis has converted to Islam and is working to change his legal name to Hakim Mansour Ellis.

Ellis, 61, a Macon native who was raised Christian, said he became a Sunni Muslim during a December ceremony in the west African nation of Senegal.

Ellis said he has studied the Quran for years and that his new religion was practiced by his ancestors before they were brought to North America as slaves.

"Why does one become a Christian?" Ellis said Thursday. "You do it because it feels right. ... To me it's no big deal. But people like to know what you believe in."

Name-changing by Ismaic converts is a common practice that is considered commendable, though it is typically not required.

Ellis said he would keep his last name at the request of two daughters.

Ellis, whose mayoral term expires this year, said he hasn't calculated how his religious conversion might affect him politically. He said he is proud to live in a country founded on religious freedom.

Story Continues Below



"If anybody wants to know about Islam, I can hold an intelligent conversation," Ellis said. "What I've found is how little we know about the religion."

You do it because it feels right? What kind of maccaroni excuse is that? I'm not a Christian becasue it feels right. I'm a Christian because I've come to believe in the centrality and messianship of Cristos as stated in the Gospel stories. One more thing. Christianity is not a western/white european thing. Christianity began in the banks of Egypt (Palestine), which the last time I checked was/is also AFRICA.

Islam belives in the "messianship" of "Cristos" (which is redundant, because Cristos itself means "messiah" or "anointed one" - I dont mean to sound insulting, you probably already know this)
