Biography/Administrative History
Richard E. Brown II (1922 - 2011) was a member of the first entering class of Fuller Theological Seminary in the Fall of 1947.
He was at that time a member of the Old Fashioned Revival Hour Quartet. Having grown up in the Christian Church he made the
decision, affirmed by Charles E. Fuller, to pursue ordination in that denomination. He therefore left Fuller in order to earn
his Bachelor of Divinity at Brite Seminary, Texas Christian University in Forth Worth, Texas. After many years of ministry
in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), in 1987 he entered an active retirement of ministry, teaching, writing, travel
and golf. In 1997 he helped found Christian Heritage Ministry which began rebroadcasting the Old Fashioned Revival Hour in
2002.
