Biography[]
Brewer was born in Richmond, Virginia. After studies at Virginia Theological Seminary he was ordained to the diaconate on June 5, 1976, and to the priesthood on January 6, 1977. He was consecrated as a bishop on March 24, 2012.
He is currently a member of Communion Partners, an Episcopalian group which opposed the 77th General Episcopal Convention's decision to authorize the blessing of same-sex marriages in 2012.[1] The measure to allow the blessing of same-sex unions won by a 111–41 vote with 3 abstentions.
