Thomas Brown
In the past 25 years I have served on several general church commissions, committees, agencies, and boards. As a longtime deputy to General Convention, and now as a bishop, I have experience working alongside others to strengthen the Episcopal Church's response to the Great Commission. Yet to do the work of growing Christians we need policies and structures that will ensure transparency, health in all its forms, and accountability of the church's leaders. My interest in serving on the Disciplinary Board of Bishops reflects an interest in making sure the disciplinary process for bishops is followed consistently and correctly. Furthermore, I am a relatively inexperienced bishop, and I hope that my new perspective will be put to use in building a disciplinary board who are fair, honest, and willing to make difficult decisions.
