David Benke is a Lutheran pastor who served as the president of the Atlantic District of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS). He became notable for his participation in an interfaith event after the 9/11 attacks, which included dialogue with other faiths such as Islam. This action led to a violation of LCMS teachings in 2002, resulting in his suspension when he refused to apologize. However, in 2003, he was reinstated by the President of the LCMS.
