$800,000 Pledge Completes Endowed Chair Honoring Theologian John B. Cobb, Jr.
Claremont School of Theology announced this week the establishment of an endowed chair in honor of John B. Cobb, Jr., thanks to a generous pledge from Rev. Dr. Mary Ellen Kilsby of Long Beach, Calif. The chair will be named the “Kilsby Family and John B. Cobb, Jr., Chair in Process Theology.”
“John Cobb is not only a preeminent intellectual but also a remarkable inspiration to all his students and colleagues,” says Jerry D. Campbell, president of the School. “We are proud of Claremont graduate Mary Ellen and we are grateful to her family for honoring this important figure and ensuring his legacy will endure at Claremont.”
The campaign for the chair, which began in 2006, raised $865,000 in gifts and pledges toward the initial $1.5 million goal. The Kilsby Family’s pledge of an additional $800,000 over eight years completes the campaign, though efforts will continue to raise the endowment.
