Ordained in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in 1999, the Rev. Dr. David Ensign has served as pastor of Clarendon Presbyterian Church, in Arlington, VA, for more than a decade. He holds a doctorate in philosophy from DePaul University and a masters in religious studies from the Divinity School at the University of Chicago. He also attended Lexington Theological Seminary in Lexington, KY, while undergoing “the trials of ordination.” Over a beer or two he can explain precisely why they are called that. He currently serves on the board of People of Faith for Equality in Virginia and the activist council of the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship. He lives in Arlington with his wife, Cheryl. They are the parents of three young adults. He writes stories, songs and poetry, and blogs when the spirit moves him. In 2013-14, with his son, Martin, he co-wrote and co-directed the documentary film, Crooked. Learn more about David.
