I am Bryan J. Brown, founder and executive director of the ArchAngel Institute, an Indiana nonprofit corporation. 

I am currently suing the Indiana Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program (JLAP), Terri Harrell, Tim Sudrovech, Elizabeth Bowman and Stephen Ross in federal district court for allegedly violating my constitutional rights by conspiring against my admission to the Indiana bar.  That case was filed on December 8, 2009.  Here’s some background on it; other posts at the category Brown v. Bowman further explain it.

I have also filed a petition for review with the United States Supreme Court appealing the State of Indiana’s denial of my right (yes, it is a right) to practice law in Indiana.  Indiana Supreme Court Chief Judge Randall Shepard upheld a thirty page order that followed my June 1, 2009 hearing.  That order was written by someone who deemed it best not to sign their name, probably because the order contained no legal analysis and flew in the face of Supreme Court precedent on how bar applicants are to be processed.  Charlotte Westerhauswas appoited Grand Inquisitor on my case.  Indiana Supreme Court-affiliated attorney Charles Kidd and others aided her in this work of legal fiction.  Posts gathered at Brown v. Board explain this state court appeal.  The entire argument will be posted at this site in the weeks to come.  It is now pending before the SCOTUS.  Here is the question presented.

The Indiana decision can be explained only as a the result of discrimination against a human rights activist by the Defendants in the Brown v. Bowman case.  That discrimination was the alleged conspiracy.

Here is some background on why I was the target of such a conspiracy:

In 1979, at the age of 20, I gave my life to Jesus Christ and attended Whatever Happened to the Human Race in Indianapolis where Dr. Francis Schaefferand C. Everett Koop. M.D. challenged me to be an activist for justice and human life.  I took up that challenge and have stayed the course ever since.

Ten years later, after it was clear that the pro-life movement was stagnating and political solutions alone were not going to end the scourge of abortion on demand I became involved in the budding Rescue Movement.

In 1990 Susan Hill, one of the foremost and most litigious agents of the culture of death in America, sued me out of economic existence from her flagship abortion clinic located in my home town at 827 Webster Street, Fort Wayne, Indiana.  She was joined in that suit by abortionist George Klopfer.

I left the Fort for Wichita, where I took a managerial role (unpaid) in the siege of late, late term abortionist George Tiller for two years.  Our activism helped the University of Kansas and HCA Wesley Hospital see the benefit of shutting down a longstanding abortionist training program ran out of Wichita.  This contributed to the nationwide drop in the supply of young abortionists. 

I was arrested more than a few times for loitering or trespass while attempting to intercede on behalf of pre-born children in the years before I became an attorney.  My most controversial arrest involved someone at the other end of the spectrum, however.  I peacefully but vocally interrupted the Wichita Police Department as they roughly arrested an 83 year old Irish Catholic great grandmother who was peacefully standing on a dentist’s parking lot adjacent to an abortion clinic with an “abortion kills children” sign.

She was later exonerated.   My arrest for attempting to tell the police that they were making a big mistake caused me to stand before federal judge Patrick Kelly. (Renowned for his biased Nightline appearance.)  He was determined to “break me” for my beliefs regarding the Higher Laws doctrine and after a one hour in chambers discussion of the historic Christian teaching that God’s law is over man’s law this federal judge ordered me imprisoned until I would pledge unreserved obedience to his fatally overbroad and unconstitutional injunction protecting Wichita’s merchant of death. 

I stood on conscience and after 68 days the federal government backed down and set me free without an oath of absolute obedience.  That was 1992.  Seventeen years later it is this stand on conscience and Christian teaching that ostensibly resulted in my denial of licensure in Indiana.   (The civil contempt was later vacated by same court that issued the order  — but that does not matter to the Indiana authorties, who claim to be advancing the highest interests of respect for the law in denying me a license in a law-free final order!)

After two years on the Wichita front I left for Regent University School of Law.  Three years later I was representing pro-life and pro-family activists for the American Family Association’s Center for Law & Policy.  I took on the culture of death and political correctness for Brother Don Wildmon for six years in that position, winning more than a few federal appellate cases.  The most important of these cases was probably Dr. David Saxe  v. State College School District  – often listed as one of Justice Sam Alito’s most important decisions while he was yet on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.  It struck down the leading Hate Speech code in the nation (at that time) and dealt the forces of political correctness a harsh blow.

All in the p.c. movement felt its reverberations.  Even Kevin Jennings.

In 2003 I was deputized by the State of Kansas to ride with Attorney General Phill Kline as chief of his Consumer Protection and Antitrust Division.   The Culture of Death called for my immediate termination from that high governmental post and their hate was echoed in the Kansas City Star and Wichita Eagle.  Four years later I was the focus of the politics of personal destruction as the Left spent a reported $250,000 on a television ad painting me as a common criminal for my pro-life activism and resulting arrests.

I had been admitted to the Kansas bar in 1996, had passed character and fitness review in Montana in 1996 and in Missouri in 2006.  I had been admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States in 2001 and passed character and fitness review after the professional scrutiny of the National Board of Law Examiners in 2005.

Yet when I applied for a law license in Indiana in April, 2007, a process that should have taken six months at the most dragged on for 31 months.  I tendered more than 70 uncontroverted witness statements as to my good moral character and fitness, including statements from an Auxiliary Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church, two former attorneys general of Kansas, and many other nationally recognized persons. This process was dragged out for 23 months and finally ended (round one) with a February, 2009 vaguely worded decision that I lacked what it took to be certified as of good moral character and mental fitness in Indiana.

That order referenced no facts and contained no law.

I asked for a hearing and one was set for June 1, 2009.  (round two)

Over the next few days some of that hearing transcript will be posted for all to see the focus of the Indiana Board of Law Inquisitors.  Meet the Inquisitors at this post.  

Read what follows and weigh the facts for yourself:  Was it my religion that bothered these Grand Inquisitors of post modernity?

Or was it just my human life activism, including returning to Fort Wayne to set up the ArchAngel Institute in the very former abortion clinic that sued me out of existence two decades earlier — and reopening that judgment and prevailing some 20 years later?   (Click here for more on that historic victory)

The Left has many, many reasons to hate me.  But that hatred is not supposed to keep me out of the State bar.  It has.  Stayed tuned for proof.

“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” George Orwell

Our major project since 2008 has been documenting the unconstitutional acts of Indiana’s Judges and Lawyers Association by our Executive Director, Bryan J. Brown.  He was “undercover” for about two years in that assignment  — he was in so deep that he did not even fully realize he was on assignment — how is that for covert!

You will find the documentation of his undercover ops recorded in the federal lawsuit denominated as Brown v. Bowman recently filed in the Northern District of Indiana.

Read down this page for more details.  A Constitutional Law Professor from Ohio has linked to the federal complaint for us.

Find other projects of the Institute in the categories on the right, including the remodeling of a former abortion clinic into The ArchAngel Institute and including our Fall seminar hosting Dr. Charles Rice on the campus of Indiana-Purdue University, Fort Wayne, where the good doctor explained the Natural Law in unique and well received symposium. 

We are the antidote to the poison called political correctness.

We are building a Culture of Life on the ruins of the culture of death.

We agree with the author of 1984 that “So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.”

Aux. Bishop James Conley has known me (Bryan) since 1991.  He is one of my spiritual advisers and has been for 18 years now.  He explains our shared background in this clip which he prepared for our December 8 banquet, before he knew for certain that the federal litigation would be filed.  He prepared a similar — actually even  more glowing — recommendation as to my good moral character and fitness and sent it to the Indiana Board of Law Examiners last June.  They ignored it.

I post this now because I am pretty certain that the same conspirators who focused their collectivist efforts to deny me entrance into the Indiana bar are now plotting to destroy me for daring to set forth their “official” deeds in the federal court pleadings.  (Read the complaint.)

More  revelations and fireworks to follow, so stay tuned  . . .

We have reviewed the four Old Testament windows at the ArchAngel Institute.

To recap, they present THE FALL, THE PROMISE, THE LAW and PROPHECY.

The Fall is the very bad news that creation is not as its Creator willed it to be.  Human choice rejected the Creator’s best.  Eve was deceived, Adam chose to follow her into rebellion against Heaven rather than turn to Heaven and redeem his Bride.

The Promise is that the Creator did not walk away from Earth, but instead began His Plan to redeem Eve and all of her children.  That plan was first witnessed in the animal skins that covered the original nakedness.  It was best revealed in the OT in Isaac on Mount Moriah.

The Law reveals to us our sin.  We all fall short, we all need to be ransomed.  Be it blasphemy, adultery, failure to follow known Revelation, abortion, whatever …. the Law shows us that we need to be rescued, we need a sacrifice.

The Prophecy was the Creator revealing His plan in the OT so that all could recognize the Son of Mary as the Lamb of God.  Any cursory study of the dating of the OT, the dating of the NT and the prophecies fulfilled by Jesus can bring even the most hardened skeptic to Faith.

Do you want that? It can be yours for the asking.

The downstairs window have emblazoned across them these lyrics, which capture the spirit of the age in the centuries before the birth of the Saviour:

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.

Here are more lyrics set to music.

Click here to study this song and appreciate its beauty as sung by Enya (in Latin).

And if you want the gift of Faith, just look up and ask for it.  Your Creator loves you and wants to rescue you.  Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you.  Email us if we can answer any questions that you might have:  archangelinstitute@gmail.org.  Call our 800 line for post abortion healing or other spiritual counsel:  800 399-4620.

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.

President Harry S. Truman

We have added a donate button at the right and requests for assistance to this website because we believe that many will want to join us in our mission of confronting a government dedicated to silencing the voice of opposition while adopting increasingly repressive measures.

Here is more explanation . . . bluntly stated and dead honest, just like Harry Truman advised.

December 8 began a brand new chapter in the history of the Institute, building upon the momentum of the previous victories in 2009 and revealing our identity as a fellowship of political/religious dissidents.

One of those victories was over the Internal Revenue Service. (more…)

This is a rare request for help from the ArchAngel Institute.   We are looking for a team to stand with us through the heavy seas dead ahead.

We are not saying it has been smooth sailing thus far.

My application to the Indiana Board of Law Examiners (IBLE) took 31 months.  Probably a record.  JLAP’s investigation alone took up to 12 months.

I have finally been denied entrance into the Indiana bar and ordered to not even ask again for 5 years.  The Indiana Board of law examiners could find no case law to support such an unconstitutional order.

See the previous posts (starting here) on letting the Marxists in.  They are in,  but I am out — due to my Christian activism decades ago — and due to my defense of my Christian faith to mental health officials in answer to their questions.   More on that in the upcoming posts.

I founded ArchAngel Institue in August 2007 with the intent to obtain my license within a few months.  I figured that they would almost have to clear me since I had just been cleared by the State of Missouri, had just been cleared by the National Conference of Law Examiners, had been admitted to the SCOTUS in 2000, had been cleared by Montana in 1996, and had been licensed in Kansas in 1996 and was in good standing when I applied, with twice as many of the needed letters of recommendation.

I get the feeling that I may have underestimated someone’s dislike for me.

While the IBLE  held up my license for almost three years, ArchAngel Institue has still moved constantly forward and enjoyed some significant legal victories.

We won a case in federal court in August  click here that scrapped an injunction almost 20 years old — and an award of fees to the killers of nascent human life.

We won before the IRS when they tried to discrimate against us based upon our Christian content while forming up our  501C3. Click here.

(Gifts to the ArchAngel Institute are fully dedictible.)

We threw a fine little tea party, complete with tea poured in the street, and a ten part series on tea partying.  Click here

The posts at the right record all of the above and so much more.  We have been fighting the good fight since our birth on May 30, 2007 — and the Donegal Corridor before that.

But beyond the communication of the Gospel of Life and the restoration of a former abortion clinic as a front for Christian Activism is  public interest litigation.  My wife tells me over and over again that it is to be the main function of ArchAngel Institute.  My wife is also of the opinion that the IBLE does  NOT want to see that happen.  Given the investigation I was subjected to, I can now understand the reluctance of some in government office to NOT have conservative Christian attorneys dedicated to advancing constitutional law claims here in Indiana.   Absolute power is so much easier wield when it is unchecked by a citizen with a copy of the constitution and the fortitude to act upon it.

Just watch me — they will likely try to destroy me for what I am doing.

Friends, if Brown v. Bowman is about anything it is about the power of the forces of political correctness.  Or, as it is better understood, cultural Marxism.

This is a battle worthy of sacrifice.  My wife and I are doing just that, as are more than a few others working with the ArchAngel Institute.  Barb B, Bill & Kelly B, Keith & Jamie B, John & Bernie B just to name a few — as well as many others who have stood with us since the opening of the Donegal Corridor in the Spring of 2007.

You are hereby invited to join the team.

If you would like to help us win this battle, we need the following:

1)  prayers – that Our Lord will bless the efforts of this lawsuit, and for my family to be blessed and protected throughout this process

2)  funds — I need to raise the money for discovery phase, for a petition to the United States Supreme Court and to keep the work of the ArchAngel Institute advancing.

3)  wisdom — I imagine that I will soon be up against Indiana’s finest.  I need to be at my best for that -  better yet, filled with His Wisdom for the best strategies.  Forgettabout me, I need so much more than me for this one.

All public interest litigation should serve the public interest.  Brown v. Bowman will do that and more.

Stay tuned for more details concerning the disturbing facts animating this case.

And please let us know if you can stand with us in the storm dead ahead.

Peace of Christ be With You,

Bryan J. Brown

We will soon begin a new series here at the Institute.  It will be a series on how state Supreme Courtz protects you, the consumer of legal services, from incompetent and/or unfit attorneys.

You will be surprised and amazed at the discipline meted out, of that we assure you.

And how much the situation parallels another institution that held much power in the 1100’s.  We will use Harold Berman’s Law and Revolution to demonstrate that parallel.

But first, consider some of our previous series for your edification.

The series on the Natural Law starts at the HG Wells poster below.  Just read down the page to become acquainted with that very important philosophy.

Advent is almost upon us.  Our first Advent at 827 Webster Street — the first Advent that said location was not hosting a child killing operation since 1978 — was 2007.  Here is that December 8 post that got our Advent started.  Read from that post to the links at the upper right to learn much about Advent and sacred art from the Renaissance period.

If you are new to the ArchAngel Institute then take our virtual tour — an open house — that starts right here. Click the blue hyperlinks on the upper right to travel through the story and building that is the ArchAngel Institute.

Christians have the obligation to resist godless governance.  It is hard to believe that such an all American concept is falling into disfavor, but believe you me, it really is!  Here is a primer on that fine doctrine. Again,  read from there to the links at the upper right to learn much about historic Christian teachings on how to balance individual freedom / responsibility and state coercion of conscience.

Last, but certainly not least, if you do not know what it means to be a Christian then please allow me to introduce you to the One whom we serve via this post right here.

There is much more in our archives to share, but that is enough for now.  Thanks for dropping by.  Please consider our December 8 banquet if you like what you read.  (See post above our new Bishop Kevin Rhoades just down this page.)

(But if you do insist on more, check out the catagory “an introduction.”)

It appears that he is — or rather was — a servant of our new Bishop in Fort Wayne-South Bend.

Bishop Rhoades and Notre Dame’s Defiance

The letter below was forwarded to me yesterday.
I have since been assured by Jean Scicchitano of the Harrisburg Diocese’s Pro-Life Office that it is legitimate and that permission has been given for it to be distributed beyond the original recipient.

Subject: FW: Bishops statement re Notre Dame

Dear Christina,

Thank you for your note of concern which you recently sent to the Bishop’s office regarding the University of Notre Dame.

Maria Wood, secretary to Bishop Rhoades, referred your email to me. Bishop Rhoades has discussed this issue with me, as it pertains specifically to my office.

As is clear from Bishop Rhoades’ most recent commentary entitled “Disturbing advances for the culture of death”, President Obama’s policies, and those of his administration, on abortion and embryonic stem cell research violate the moral law and Church teachings on the sanctity of human life and dignity of the person. Bishop Rhoades concurs with Bishop D’Arcy’s statement and position on the matter. (Bishop D’Arcy is the bishop of Fort Wayne-South Bend, the diocese in which Notre Dame is located). Bishop Rhoades stands firmly with the US Catholic Bishops’ statement called “Catholics in Political Life” which unambiguously says –

The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.

Bishop Rhoades also supports those who exercise their freedom of conscience and speech to express their opposition to the university’s decision to have President Obama as commencement speaker and honoree. In fact, Bishop Rhoades has written to the president of the university to express his disagreement with the university’s action.

It is disheartening and distressing when an institution that is regarded as Catholic, such as Notre Dame, fails to follow the guidelines set forth by the Bishops of the Catholic Church, especially in these vital moral matters. It is not political nor partisan to stand for the sanctity of human life and the dignity of the human person. President Obama clearly does not stand for or advance the cause of the defenseless unborn and their mothers and families. This is the tragic reality we must come to terms with as Catholics living in an increasingly secular environment. It is heartening on the other hand, to see how many Notre Dame students, faculty and alumni have made their commitment to human life known and how many Catholics and others of good will have done the same.

It is Bishop Rhoades’ hope and prayer that all the institutions that bear the name “Catholic” will affirm the Church’s teachings, expose the culture of death and build up the Culture of Life. Thank you for your selfless commitment to the defense of innocent human life. Please be assured of our prayers.

On behalf of Bishop Rhoades and myself, I am

Sincerely,

Paul CB Schenck, MA (Theol.), LHD

The deadline for the Culture of Death to file an appeal against the Honorable Judge William C. Lee’s ruling on Bryan Brown’s Rule 60 motion was midnight, September 8, 2009.  (CLICK HERE TO READ THAT RULING)

If such an appeal had been filed then the Culture of Death – by and through either abortionist  Ulrich George Klopfer or by and through the Women’s Health Organization  (ostensibly still managed by feminist fatale Susan Hill) – then the C.O.D. could have fought back and attempted to yet hold Brown and the address of 827 Webster Street (their former slaughterhouse) in certain economic chains.

Thanks be to God and our Lady (September 8, the celebration of a special birth, was an interesting deadline on this 19 year old legal case), the August 6, 2009 Order of the Court (issued on the Feast of the Transfiguration) is now solid rock!  The injunction and its ancillary orders, including the February 20, 1991 order that Brown and Wendell Brane pay $61,616 … is no more!!!  (Fully satisfied under the law, with the case dismissed once and forever.)

“with Mary’s birth the darkness is dispersed and there rises in the world the dawn that announces the Sun of Justice, Christ the Lord.”

Donegal Corridor filed its motion that began the process of unraveling this injustice prayerfully and on the date of its attorney’s (David Wemhoff) choosing:  The Feast Day of St. George (the dragonslayer). This ruling was a milestone — even the Raison d’être – for the Donegal Corridor.  Click here to understand why.

Thanks be to God, all of his Saints (dead and living) and Judge William C. Lee for today’s final triumph over those who sued Brown and Brane during Holy Week, 1990.

Here are former posts on the abortionist Klopfer and culture of death profiteer Susan Hill from this website as background for this great victory.

Hello, my name is Keith L. Brown and I am the President of the ArchAngel Institute Board.  Bryan has asked me to keep current our posts on the ArchAngel website, as he continues to seek wisdom from Above on what is next for him.

Bryan is contacting the leading national pro-family groups seeking grants to keep the ArchAngel Institute viable.  I would be remiss if I didn’t make you aware that  Bryan has drawn very little as to salary from the ArchAngel Institute since its inception, and has drawn none at all from the Institute for more than one year now.  He raised much money to aid in the complete remodeling of the former abortion clinic d worked throughout the first three quarters of 2008 on that massive remodeling with our father, John R. Brown.

Bryan stepped aside last August to allow a post-abortion woman the opportunity to go on salary and lead our prayer and organizational efforts from last summer to last February.  She headed up the prayer effort and some other projects, but our funds continued to drain throughout the fall and winter and so we had to go to limited hours.  Unfortunately she was unable to continue under such a reduced salary and thus we had no option save layoff.

Now is the time;  if you’re a friend of ArchAngel Institute or a friend of Bryan Brown, please consider a financial gift to ArchAngel Institute, a 501c3 non-profit.  Like most nonprofits, we are facing a challenge on finances.  The IRS has stalled making a decision on our permanent 501C3 status, causing our mailing costs to be more than they should be. (And causing us to investigate legal alternatives to merely waiting while our papers are held up for no apparent reason.) As all readers know, Bryan has been stalled for years by the Indiana bar admission process. His family is suffering financially due to this situation.

Bryan took a job with a local manufacturer last fall.  He was downsized three months ago and did not quality for unemployment since his status with AI for most of 2008 was not as an employee.   Work is hard to come by for one in Bryan’s unenviable position … few friends for those who are disliked by people in high places in Indiana.  Not one to be idle, even during this downturn Bryan is quite busy for the best of causes.  He took a sabbatical from ArchAngel and soon was working — volunteer — to help launch another group. Find more on that at www.hoosierpatriots.blogspot.com

The ArchAngel Institute has been operating on prayer and the generosity of others for two years now. We are asking Bryan to return to the Institute to lead it full time, as the only full time employee.  We beseech your prayers and generosity in this critical hour.
