HARRISON REV. MAE E BREWINGTON HARRISON (Age 77) Passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 29, 2019, at her home in Accokeek, MD. Rev. Harrison was born in Rockingham, NC, and received her Bachelor of Arts and Master of Divinity degrees from Howard University. She obtained her Doctorate of Ministry from Wesley Theological Seminary. She was ordained as an Elder in 1993 in the United Methodist Church. Rev. Harrison left her lifelong dream of teaching to accept the Lord's call into the ministry after her then two year old son, Daniel N. Harrison, II, was healed of leukemia. She has given this testimony many times in the five United Methodist Churches she pastored in her 22 year full time ministry which was replete with lectures, workshops, Bible studies, women's conferences, summer camps, vacation bible school, and endless number of innovative programs. However, her legacy is her son, now 46, who was recently found to have brain cancer. God healed him once and the family believes he can do it again.
