Rob Jennings

Rob Jennings is a deep-sea evolutionary biologist, and a professor at Temple University. A life-long Episcopalian, Rob has from a young age valued the Church’s invitation to conversation about the complexities and challenges of living into our calling as Christians, and how the Church doesn’t just accept questions and dialogue, but actively encourages them. The intersection of his professional and spiritual lives has made him passionate about the ways in which science and religion can each deepen our understanding of the other. Having sung for almost as long as he could talk, Rob loves singing in the St. Martin’s choir and the ways in which making music together deepens our participation in and understanding of worship. He also loves cooking for crowds large and small, and has made several pots of soup for the SUPPER ministry. He is honored to have been nominated to serve on the vestry.
