On Tuesday this week, Bishop Brown said that he had first learned of the shootings from messages from fellow bishops offering prayers and checks on his safety. “Of course, we are now part of a much bigger community who knows the pain of mass gun violence. In his letter, Bishop Brown urged readers to take action for “common-sense gun reforms” with the Episcopal Public Policy Network. The latter statistic was linked to hunting — a “really important part of our culture, our economy”, Bishop Brown said. Bishop Brown was due to visit Lewiston again this Wednesday evening for a “mini retreat” at Trinity Episcopal Church in the town, which was in lockdown after the shooting.
