The Leadership Team of EAD has chosen a two-part path forward and we are excited to invite you to support and walk with us. Those two components of our work throughout 2024 will include focusing our attention on a strategic planning process to envision EAD’s bold future—while also organizing a smaller, focused EAD “summit" to keep EAD in the minds (and calendars) of our sponsor organizations and advocates. The title of the May 17-19 event was "Faith in Action: Advancing Human Rights and Peace for All" and it was an in-person event.

Our attendees were eager to gather in person to connect with their peers, especially in this election year. The 2024 EAD Spring Summit included advocacy training for new and growing participant categories (seminary students, young adults) and offered a chance for those who work with domestic and international priorities to connect and share. Ultimately, we want the universal voice of God, one of compassion, justice and peace, to be lifted during these challenging times.
