Rev. Lloyd Douglas Brown was born December 10, 1907, in Waterford, Ontario, Canada into the home of a Baptist minister, to the daughter of a Baptist minister, James Beach Moore who was the son of a Quaker. He is notable for having migrated theologically from a conservative Baptist tradition to Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism, and within that tradition distinguishing himself as a servant of the people even to the point of administering free dental care in the basement of his church. He died May 29, 1964, while serving in Cayuga, Ontario, Canada. L.D. Brown started his theological training at the Toronto Bible College, a conservative Protestant training institution. After graduating from there, he continued in 1931, at Wycliffe College, an evangelical Anglican training institution in Toronto and graduated with a B.A. in 1934. He was ordained as an Anglican deacon in 1934 and as a priest June 16, 1935 in the Diocese of Niagara, Ontario. He served as Assistant Rector from 1934-1938 at St. George's Anglican Church, Guelph. On Nov. 1, 1938 he became the Rector of the Anglican churches in Jarvis and Nanticoke, Ontario. From July 15, 1941 to March 15, 1944 he was Rector of St. James Anglican Church, Guelph.

He did a lot of physical work around the church building. Decidedly high church, he told parishioners that he was intent on bringing things down from the mountain. Some were offended by the way he conducted services. Brown later converted to Roman Catholicism." March 15, 1944 he received transfer papers to the Diocese of Tennessee and served at the Calvary Episcopal Church in Memphis. He resigned from Calvary Church, Memphis, Tenn. Sept. 1946. He was still listed in the Memphis area throughout 1947, but by June 1948 he was studying at the Roman Catholic Loyola College, Montreal, P.Q.
