Following a nomination period and a thorough process of references, conversations and interviews the clergy and lay representatives on the Bishop Selection Committee confirmed without reservation their recommendation for the appointment of Bishop Tim to the position of Diocesan Bishop back to the AMiE Standing Committee and thence to the Synod.

On Saturday 5th July 2025, our Synod joyfully endorsed their full support for Bishop Tim to be appointed as Diocesan Bishop.

It is a great joy that Bishop Tim’s appointment to this full-time, dedicated role, will allow him to continue providing a relational episcopacy to those serving as leaders in the local AMiE churches and to lead AMiE in our vision of starting and strengthening churches for the salvation of many and the glory of God.

Tim, married Tanya on April Fools’ Day 1989. They have four grown up children (Bethan, Anna, Rebekah and Caleb), three sons-in-law (Grant, Riley and Elliot) and three grandchildren. Tim was born and brought up in East Africa and much of his life revolved around that part of the world into his early twenties. A Christian family serving the Lord in an African context is where he came to faith in the Lord Jesus.

Following work in business and industry (mainly in the motor industry), Tim has served churches in a variety of settings in rural Oxfordshire and in Sheffield. He was the founding minister at Christ Church Central in 2003 and has served there ever since.

In 2022 Tim was consecrated as a Bishop, and served as an Assistant Bishop with the AMiE diocese, supporting the previous Diocesan Bishop, Rt Rev’d Andy Lines. Following Bishop Andy stepping down from this role in March 2025 (in order to focus more fully on his other responsibilities as Presiding Bishop of the Anglican Network in Europe and Diocesan Bishop of the Anglican Convocation in Europe), Bishop Tim has been serving as Acting Diocesan Bishop.
