Howard William Brown served in nine parishes across the country, from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles, for fifty-two years. He began his ministry in the Western Pennsylvania Conference until in 1961, a love of the wide-open spaces led him West to a small desert parish in Arizona, where he became engaged with global missions. He traveled to remote areas of South Korea and Japan along with a team of Conference delegates to spread the word of Jesus Christ in other cultures. From1968 to 1973, Reverend Brown performed the first of many biblical dramatizations in a theater-in-the-round style chancel in South Pasadena. A member of the Southern California [en dash] Hawaii Conference, he also served churches in Riverside and San Diego counties, delivering his message on the vitality of life beyond earth. Throughout his remarkable tenure, Reverend Brown focused on a deep commitment to ecumenical and educational ministries, and a love of the natural environment that led to thirty-seven years of backpacking trips into the Grand Canyon. He graduated from West Virginia Wesleyan University with a B.A. in psychology, and earned his ministerial degree from Drew Seminary.view less
