New Leaders at Regent Hall
Last week Majors Ray and Pat Brown were installed as corps officers at London’s Regent Hall in central London.
Ray & Pat Brown
Ray spent a number of years at Chatham when his parents, James & Alma, were the corps officers in the late 1970s. He decided to offer for Salvation Army officership and entered the training college from this corps, being commissioned in 1980. Marrying Pat Milne later that year, Ray had three appointments in Scotland, at Findochty, Stornoway (where he started the Army’s work) and Inverness before spending four years in charge of the Tauranga corps in New Zealand’s North Island.
Returning to the UK Ray and Pat again served in Scotland, at Govan and in Edinburgh, before taking up their first English appointment in Nottingham. During this particular appointment Ray was also deployed on emergency work overseas leaving Pat to cope with things at home.
The couple have now taken up their latest appointment in London where they expect to serve for a number of years.
