Reverend Rob Schenck (pronounced SHANK) is the President and co-founder of Faith and Action, a Christian outreach to elected and appointed officials in Washington, DC. From the Faith and Action headquarters directly across the street from the U.S. Supreme Court building, his mission on Capitol Hill is to bring the Word of God to bear on the hearts and minds of those who make public policy in America.
As part of his ministry, Dr. Schenck has met and spoken personally with President George W. Bush, former and current Speakers of the House, Senate Majority Leaders, numerous members of Congress and all nine Justices of the US Supreme Court and frequently appears on major television networks and radio programs.
In July 2006, Dr. Schenck successfully defended a granite display of The Ten Commandments in the garden of the Faith and Action building against a demand for its removal by the Washington, DC city government at the risk of fines and property seizure.
Dr. Schenck has been involved in defending public displays of the Ten Commandments as well as other Christian symbols around the country. Also in 2006, he assisted local leaders in preventing the removal of a cross from a war memorial on Mt. Soledad in San Diego.
