John Van Dyke is a Christian Conservative who works with Reverend Al Caldwell.

Career[]

Van Dyke is one of the three Christian Conservatives brought to the White House during the Mary Marsh incident. During negotiations, he suggested that the Sunday Morning Radio Address could be about the Commandment "Honor thy father" which he incorrectly listed as the First Commandment. When Toby Ziegler said it was the Third Commandment, an argument broke out that ended when President Josiah Bartlet entered the room and corrected him that the First Commandment was "I am thy Lord, your God. Thou shalt not worship any god before me."
