Bishop Coleman Dies at 81
The longtime pastor of a local church has died.
Bishop Phillip Coleman, Sr., who led the Greater Bethlehem Temple on Robinson Street for more than 50 years, died Tuesday night after battling cancer. He was 81.
It was 1954 when Coleman founded the church he pastored. The church's website says it had 800 members when it moved from its location on Lynch Street to its present home on Robinson, where the membership grew to more than 2500
