Monica Coleman
==== Editing Article on Monica Coleman ====


 * How do I change her name? From other publications, it seems that Monica Coleman goes by Monica A. Coleman.
 * The third sentence of the article used to read, "She is currently one of the co-directors of the Center for Process Theology." I changed to read, "She is currently a Faculty Co-Director Emerita for the Center for Process Studies." I added the citation to the The Center for Process Studies.

Ministry

Monica Coleman accepted a call to ministry at nineteen years of age. Reverend Coleman is an ordained elder in the first African Methodist Episcopal Church.

A part of Coleman's ministry has been helping churches gain awareness and training of how to care for and support individuals who have experienced sexual violence. It was while she was a student at Vanderbilt University Divinity School in 1997 that she created a ministry at Metropolitan Interdenominational Church in Nashville, Tennessee.

In 2004, Coleman published The Dinah Project: A Handbook for Congregational Response to Sexual Violence. This work provides personal narrative about being a survival of sexual assault while also offering a resource guide to assist churches in caring for those who have experienced sexual violence. .

Coleman has written about her mental health journey in her spiritual memoir, Bipolar Faith: a Black Woman’s Journey with Depression and Faith.
