Howard Royer served on the denominational staff for 50 consecutive years from 1953-2003, followed by eight years as the Global Food Crisis Fund (now Global Food Initiative) manager, serving three-quarter time on a contract/volunteer basis.
Royer started out as a 1-W conscientious objector and volunteer in stewardship. He then filled successive roles as youth editor, news director, editor of Messenger magazine, coordinator of a salvation and justice program, and director of interpretation.
These short videos, produced by David Sollenberger, share some of Royer’s memories and insights from his lengthy tenure.
