Proclaiming the Good News x2
Paul and Rob Schenck have been together all of their lives--literally! Identical twins, they were born to Henry and Marjorie Schenck on October 1, 1958 in Glenn Ridge, New Jersey. The two played, fought, cried and laughed together--sharing a bedroom until they left home to attend the same ministerial training college in Upstate New York. Both pursued a common call to Christian service following their conversions to Christianity in a small country Methodist church. Paul would become a pastor, while Rob became a missionary evangelist. In 2004, Paul left the Protestant ministry to enter the Roman Catholic Church and was ordained a priest in 2010. Today, Fr. Paul serves in the Diocese of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, while Rev. Rob is the president of The Dietrich Bonhoeffer Institute in Washington, DC. Both brothers regularly preach, teach, counsel, and speak at conferences, conventions, retreats, and other gatherings. Together they proclaim God’s love for all in Jesus Christ, advancing the two Great Commandments of our Lord, to Love God and Love Neighbor.
