sealforwebAsbury Theological Seminary extends condolences to the family of Marietta Coleman. Marietta is the wife of Robert “Clem” Coleman, Distinguished Senior Professor of Discipleship and Evangelism at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. Dr. Colman is a prolific author and has published many books and articles, including The Master Plan of Discipleship, The Master Plan of Evangelism and The Heart of the Gospel. Dr. Coleman also taught at Asbury Seminary for 27 years.

Marietta Coleman is the mother-in-law of Dr. Lawson Stone, current professor and chair of the Old Testament Department at Asbury Seminary.

“I have had the distinct privilege of knowing Marietta Coleman for almost twenty years,” Dr. Timothy C. Tennent, President of Asbury Theological Seminary, said. “Her engaging love of students, her remarkable wit and her legendary hospitality will be greatly missed. We have lost a living saint, and we pray that God would multiply her faith, vision and vitality into the lives of the thousands of young men and women she has served over the years.”

Please be in prayer for the Coleman family during this time.
