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.

Father Tim has published over 75 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 chairs the Editorial Advisory Board of The Episcopal New Yorker and is a frequent contributor. 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 What Size Are God's Shoes? Kids, Chaos, and the Spiritual Life (Morehouse 2008).

When not spending time on church business or family activities, you can usually find Father Tim running on the roads and trails around Briarcliff. An avid long distance runner, he has completed three marathons, most recently the 2008 Boston Marathon.

Father Tim's wife, Bryna Rogers, a native of Westchester County, is a trained School Counselor. The Schencks live in the All Saints' Rectory with their two young children, Benedict and Zachary, and their dog Delilah.
