Cizik is a primary author of the NAE's highly lauded public policy paper of 2005 entitled "For the Health of the Nation A Call to Civic Responsibility," which outlines key public policy stances of the group on a wide range of issues including sanctity of human life, world hunger and poverty, the environment, race relations, and a host of other topics. Chowning said, "Dr. Cizik is a frequent contributor to numerous publication and news segments in discussing the wide range of public policy issues that abound today." Cizik's primary responsibilities include setting NAE's policy direction on issues before Congress, the White House and Supreme Court, as well as serving as a national spokesman on issues of concern to evangelicals. His background includes a bachelor of arts (cum laude) in political science from Whitworth College; master of arts in public affairs from the George Washington University School of Public & International Affairs (now called the Elliot School of International Affairs); master of divinity from Denver Seminary and an honorary doctorate of ministry from the Methodist Episcopal Church in Christian Leadership. Post-graduate research awards include a Scottish-Rite Graduate Fellowship to George Washington University and a Rotary International Graduate Fellowship to the Republic of China. He is the author of over 100 published articles and editorials, author and editor of The High Cost of Indifference (Regal Books), a contributor to On Christian Freedom (University Press of America), and the Dictionary of Christianity in America (Inter-Varsity Press). Cizik was ordained in 1992 to a specific ministry calling in public affairs with the National Association of Evangelicals by the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (one of 60 member denominations of NAE) and maintains an active preaching and speaking schedule. Married to Virginia Cizik for 24 years, he is the father of two sons, Rich Jr. and John. The family resides in Fredericksburg, Va. "Campbellsville University has established the institute that primarily focuses focus its attention on facilitating public policy study and issues debate, Chowning said, "while encouraging the involvement of Christian leaders in the public and civic arenas."
