SUSTAINING THE SOUL OF EQUAL JUSTICE
WITH REV. EDDIE HOWARD

Nearly 60 folks, including students, TH board and staff and community friends, gathered for an intimate follow up conversation inspired by our Scoper Lecture with Bryan Stevenson. We were so grateful to welcome Abundant Life’s Executive Director, Rev. Eddie Howard to share with us about what scriptures have inspired his faith and work.

BIO: Eddie Howard joined as Executive Director in fall 2021, after serving on staff for eight years in the early 2000’s. Eddie grew up in the Prospect neighborhood, Abundant Life’s focus for ministry and served on staff building deep relationships in the community and helping to launch our 5/8 Program for Middle School boys. After his initial time with Abundant Life, Eddie moved to Virginia Beach where he was a business owner and continued his vocations of mentoring and pastoring, through his local church and organizations focused on literacy and mentoring fathers. He is also the author of Still Convicted: A Story of Redemption, Reconciliation, and Restoration.

Eddie brings experience and energy along with his broad local network to the areas of development, partner building, vision casting, and strategic planning at Abundant Life. His extensive personal experience in peacebuilding and restorative justice practices, as well as his thoughtfulness about community building will inform his approach to this important work.
