THE LEGACY OF GOD’S GENERAL

Archbishop Roy Edward Brown made his entrance into God’s world

on February 28, 1943 in Birmingham, Alabama to the late Ollie Mae

Shelton-Brown. He was the third of six children.

His formative years were spent in Birmingham with his grandmother

and there he received his early education in the public school system.

He attended St. Paul Methodist Church in Birmingham under the

pastorate of the late Reverend Wilson. At the young age of six, he

accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior.

At the age of thirteen, he and his family moved to New York where he

completed his education at the John Jay High School. It was there-

that his gift for singing was discovered. He began formal training in

voice (opera) and music. It was in the boiler room of that same school

he was filled with the Holy Ghost. He later joined the Mt. Ollie Baptist

Church where the late Reverend R. D. Brown was the pastor.

At the age of seventeen, he acknowledged his call to the ministry and

later began evangelizing. He was ordained a minister in April, 1964,

and in 1965 he accepted his first pastorate at the First Baptist Church

of Deer Park in Long Island, New York where he pastored for one year.

Archbishop Brown met and married Telia Ruff, and to this union was

born one child, Tiwana Elizabeth Brown.

In 1966 he became pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, then located in

the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York.

His passion for soul winning included radio broadcasts, crusades, tent

revivals and many other avenues of outreach. He was a man of great

faith, love, prayer, hospitality, excellence and generosity. He also was

a man of vision-. In addition to preaching, teaching and singing he

was gifted in decorating, negotiating, producing and directing and he

had a great love for teaching etiquette and the art of fashion.

Archbishop Brown has been amically titled, “A Man after God’s own

Heart”- “A Man with a Vision”, “The Alabama Special”, “The

Singing and Praying Preacher” as well as the “Gatekeeper of the

City”. His pulpit was open to many up and coming Bishops, Pastors,

Ministers, and Evangelists. He also ministered to vast congregations

of various denominations.

He was consecrated as Bishop, July 18, 1990 and established the

Pilgrim Assemblies International, Inc. on that same day. Pilgrim

Assemblies is a Christian Reformation presently composed of

churches throughout the United State, the Caribbean, South Africa

and West Africa.

He was elevated to the office of Archbishop, March 27, 1996. On

July 12, 1998 – the Pilgrim Church relocated to a larger worship

facility in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn (formerly the

Pilgrim Church Renaissance Convention Center).

In 1998, Archbishop Brown met and married the love of his life,

Paula Scarlett- she was his loving and devoted companion, friend

and caregiver.

Archbishop Brown served on many Community Board of Directors,

and received many certificates, proclamations and honors from civic,

political and religious organizations.

The Pilgrim Cathedral of Harlem exists because of God’s grace and

the vision that He gave to one man, the Honorable Archbishop Roy

E. Brown, the Chief Prelate of Pilgrim Assemblies International. God

gave him the mandate to plant churches, and in obedience to the voice

of God, the process began.

Archbishop Brown became ill in 2005 and thereafter continued to

have serious medical challenges, some life threatening, but God

sustained him. When asked how he felt, he would almost always

answer “WONDERFUL.”

In 2011, God led him to install as pastor a daughter of the ministry,

De’Bora A. Crowe of New York. He later consecrated and appointed,

Archbishop William Hudson, III to lead Pilgrim Assemblies

International, Inc.

Before taking him home on Saturday, June 2, God breathed into

Archbishop Brown a breath of new life which he used to refresh,

remind, and give some final instructions to Pilgrim Church and

Pilgrim Assemblies International, Inc.

Archbishop Roy Edward Brown leaves to cherish his memories his

devoted wife; Paula Brown; his daughter, Tiwana E. Brown; Sister;

Yvonne Fields; Spiritual sons and daughters; and a host of nieces,

nephews, godchildren, relatives, and devoted church family and friends.

“And now, brethren, I command you to God and to take the word of grace, which is able to

build you up and give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. I have shewed

you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and remember the words of

the Lord Jesus- how he said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive”. Acts 20:32, 35.

Grace and peace be unto you from God our father and the

Lord Jesus Christ,

I would like to thank God for the opportunity and privilege of

being the wife to Archbishop Roy E. Brown for over 22

years. It was a huge honor to be a part of this amazing

journey. Archbishop Roy E. Brown is the founder and was

the chief prelate of Pilgrim Assemblies International, as well

as the former Pastor of Pilgrim Father Church. Archbishop

Roy E. Brown was a true example of a man of God who

could calm the masses! The anointing has been so great on

his life from childhood that teachers used him to keep the

peace during school riots.

Throughout his life many were healed, saved, set free and

delivered by the anointing of Jesus Christ. The presence and

power of God was so mighty during Church services, that it

would take us out of flesh and leave us weeping and

worshiping, unaware of time or what others thought. He

would often say, “I’ve overcome public opinion.” Crusades,

revivals and tent services tapped into another dimension of

God's power and glory. As he preached the presence of God

was demonstrated in every sermon and the prophetic would

astonish the crowds! There was no denying the power of the

Holy Ghost fire on this man of God! Blind eyes were opened.

As he preached in season and out, the lame walked, demons

fled, the sick and broken hearted were healed just like in Luke

4:18 which says, “The spirit of the Lord is upon me because

he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath

sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to

the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind to set at

liberty them that are bruised.”

Archbishop Brown was a humble man and before preaching

he would often say, “I am a dummy and if God doesn’t anoint

me to speak then I have nothing to say!” He taught us to fast,

pray, worship and in everything give thanks! (I Thessalonians

5:18.) He was dedicated to the authenticity of the word of

God! He would later start the “Scripture Church” to

emphasize the Bible as the priority for all things! John 1:1-4,

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God

and the Word was God, The same was in the beginning with

God. He made all things, and without him was not any thing

made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the

light of men.”

Online Version

Another aspect of his ministry dealt with choosing men and woman of God to be leaders, pastors and

bishops worldwide even when they had not chosen that route for themselves! Archbishop Roy E. Brown

continued to lift up the name of Jesus while keeping the body of Christ focused on kingdom building.

Churches were planted, leaders were appointed and souls came to the Lord! Archbishop Roy E. Brown

would say, “If God said it, then he will do it!” Those same sentiments led him to have a radio broadcast,

telecasts, produce plays, direct and conduct choirs and orchestras, create songs, and have performances at

Carnegie Hall, purchase buildings, tents, antique furniture, buses, trucks, and even an ambulance, all for

the people of God!

He was a man of great vision, which led to the opening of Pilgrim Christian Academy where young lives

were impacted with an academic and spiritual educational experience! His daily reminders from 1

Corinthians 10:31, “Whatever you do in word or deed, do it all to the glory of God with a spirit of

excellence” made us all want to do and be ten times better just like in Daniel 1:20 which says, “And in all

matters of wisdom and understanding that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better”...

There are so many more achievements, visions and accomplishments of Archbishop Roy E. Brown,

including his exquisite taste for food, fashion, and interior decorating! If I were to write a book about all

the great things my husband achieved there would simply not be enough pages to contain them! His legacy

will continue to live on in the hearts and minds of all of us. This is a man who trusted God in everything,

believed God for anything, and worshiped God no matter what the circumstance! Even in the latter years,

his sicknesses never caused him to waiver, doubt, murmur, complain or blame God. He continued to be

active in ministry all the while keeping the faith in God to do the impossible! Luke 1:37 “For with God

nothing shall be impossible.”

Archbishop Roy E. Brown lived and believed wholeheartedly the word of God; and according to II

Timothy 4:7, “He fought a good fight, he stayed the course, and he kept the faith.” I will forever cherish

the memories that changed our lives to be true Christians by his love of God. After a long battle with

illness, our gift to the body of Christ His Eminence fell asleep on June 2, 2018. II Samuel 7:12: “And when

thy days be fulfilled and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall

proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.”

On behalf of my husband and I, we would like to thank to everyone, especially Pastor De'Bora Crowe for

the love, prayers, support and kindness, during this wonderful assignment to God's faithful anointed leader,

teacher, preacher and prophet.

To my dear husband, my friend, my pastor, my heart; II Timothy 4:8 “Henceforth there is laid up for you a

crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge shall give you….”

Rest on, our good and faithful servant! I will always treasure the love we shared.
