Trinity Calls the Rev. Dr. Herman Browne as Next Rector
The Search Committee and the Vestry are pleased to announce the hiring of the Rev. Dr. Herman Browne to serve as our priest, beginning July 1, 2025.
Father Browne is temporarily serving at St. John's Episcopal Church at Helena (Phillips County). He will be joined by his wife, Trokon, and their three children in relocating to Pine Bluff in June.
Father Browne previously served as the Senior Advisor to the Archbishop of Canterbury for Anglican Communion Affairs; Dean of the Episcopal Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Monrovia; President of Cuttington University of Liberia; and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Liberia Petroleum Refining Company.
He holds a Bachelor of Theology from Cuttington University; a Bachelor of Divinity from Kings College, London; and a Doctor of Philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London. He has served on numerous boards in the Anglican Communion and in 2005 was named a recipient of the Lambeth Cross by the Most Revd. and Rt. Honorable Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury.
Father Herman and family are delighted and eager to begin serving Trinity in July. We are so pleased and thankful Father Herman has accepted our call to serve as the Priest of Trinity Episcopal Church. I would like to end this with Father Herman’s words:
“I believe myself called to minister to all God’s people {individually and collectively}; to educate and inspire a discipleship of Jesus Christ that values the dignity of all and draws out from each what makes for their full flourishing.”
