Bob Dylan himself reports that someone threw a silver cross on the stage during a concert in San Diego in November 1978, leading directly to his conversion to Christ.  It was much more dramatic than I had ever imagined.  Again from Wikipedia:  “‘[Dylan’s] conversion wasn’t one of those things that happens when an alcoholic goes to Alcoholics Anonymous,’ David Mansfield, one of Dylan’s band members and fellow born-again Christian, would later say.  ‘The simplest explanation is that he had a very profound experience which answered certain lifelong issues for him.’ . . .  

“Dylan wasn’t alone in his religious awakening.  Band members Steven Soles and David Mansfield had already joined the Vineyard [Christian] Fellowship, a Christian organization introduced to them by T-Bone Burnett.  Helena Springs, one of the singers in the band, was brought up Christian and still practiced her faith.  Dylan was also romantically linked with Mary Alice Artes; raised as a Christian, she had strayed from her faith only to return to it after joining the Vineyard Fellowship (without the influence of Burnett, Soles, or Mansfield).”
