In 1825 he was ordained in the Protestant Episcopal Church, and in 1829 became rector of Christ Church, Georgetown, D.C. He was rector of Christ Church, Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1836, and was pastor of Ascension Church, Baltimore, in 1853. In the following year he accepted a professorship in Kenyon College, Ohio; but subsequently assumed the rectorship of Christ Church, Springfield, which position he held till his death, August 17, 1861. Dr. Brooke was in doctrine a strict Calvinist. In some of his writings he maintained that slavery was taught in the Scriptures, and he defended the famous Dred Scott decision.
