After a curacy at St James, Milton, Portsmouth[7] he went out to the Diocese of Travancore and Cochin on the Malabar coast of India in January 1938, working there for the Church Missionary Society, and eventually becoming Principal of the Kerala United Theological Seminary.[8] Episcopal ministryIn 1952 Brown accepted the post of Bishop of Uganda, despite having doubts because of his support for indigenisation.[9] He was to serve as a bishop in total for 25 years,[10] first as Bishop of Uganda (diocesan bishop of the Diocese of Uganda) until 1960, bridging the period of Ugandan independence, then as Archbishop of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, until 1965. Upon the division of Uganda into separate dioceses in 1960, Brown remained in post, becoming diocesan bishop of a smaller diocese: the Bishop of Namirembe. The next year, he became Archbishop of the Province, which was initially named the Province of Uganda and Rwanda-Urundi, but soon renamed the Province of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. The three national churches were later to become three separate provinces, but remained a single provincial unit throughout Brown's tenure. On his return to England, Brown became first an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Oxford, and then in 1966 the Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich. He retired in 1978, and lived in retirement in Halesworth, serving as an honorary assistant priest in the local parish church. Academic interestsHis lasting contribution is reckoned to be in the field of liturgy, first as a member of the liturgy committee of the Church of South India, which in 1950 produced the influential CSI Liturgy, then working on A Liturgy for Africa, produced in 1964, and also corresponding with the Church of England's Liturgical Commission.[11] He further assisted in the development of A United Liturgy for East Africa, published in 1966. A noted author, his history The Indian Christians of St Thomas, was described at the time of his death as "a classic textbook".[12][13] References1. ^Crockford's Clerical Directory 1975–76 London: Oxford University Press, 1976 {{ISBN|0-19-200008-X}} {{S-start}}{{S-rel|en}}{{S-bef|before=Cyril Stuart}}{{S-ttl|title=Bishop of Uganda|years=1953–1960}}{{S-non|reason=Diocese split and renamed}}2. ^[https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/obituary-the-right-rev-leslie-brown-1135067.html Independent obituary] 3. ^First Archbishop of Uganda Dr. L.
