Bio

The Rev. Timothy E. Schenck (pronounced "skenk"), Episcopal priest and writer, has been rector of All Saints' Episcopal Church in Briarcliff Manor, New York since 2002. He previously served for two years as the assistant priest at Old Saint Paul's Church in downtown Baltimore. Prior to attending Seabury-Western Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois, where he was the student body president, Father Tim had a varied profesional life. After graduating from Tufts University in 1991, he spent four years as a political campaign manager, working across the country on the federal, state, and local levels. He also served as the Public Affairs Officer for an Army Reserve unit stationed in Baltimore. His training as a tank platoon leader and paratrooper come in handy in parish ministry.

Father Tim has published over 65 articles in a variety of religious and secular publications including Family Circle, Spirituality & Health, Episcopal Life, The Baltimore Sun, The Living Church, and The New York Times. He serves on the Board of Governors of Episcopal Life and is past chair of the Editorial Board of The Episcopal New Yorker. Father Tim's writing has been awarded numerous Polly Bond Awards from Episcopal Communicators and has received recognition from the Associated Church Press. He is the author of From Seminary to Parish: Navigating Your First Clergy Job Search, distributed to seminarians throughout the Episcopal Church. His first book, What Size are God's Shoes? Kids, Chaos & the Spiritual Life, will be published by Morehouse in 2008.

When not spending time on church business or family activities, you can usually find Father Tim running or cycling around Briarcliff. An avid long distance runner and triathlete, he is a member of both the New York Road Runner's Club and USA Triathlon.
