Tim Dieppe

Head of Public Policy, Christian Concern

Tim is Head of Public Policy at Christian Concern which he joined in 2016. Tim's special interest is in Islamic affairs. This interest developed after the 2001 attacks which prompted him to study the nature of Islam, including sharia finance. Tim connected with Christian Concern after being asked to run a sharia fund which he refused to do. This led him to become more involved in combatting the increasing influence of sharia law in the UK.

Tim regularly appears in the media and writes articles for Christian Concern on current moral and political issues of interest to Christians. He also often teaches in churches and at various conferences and events.

Tim co-authored the book Questions to Ask Your Muslim Friends with his friend and expert on Islamics Beth Peltola. The book is aimed at encouraging Christians to engage their Muslim friends in conversations about faith. Tim also contributed two chapters to Beyond the Odds: Providence in Britain's Wars of the 20th Century by John Scriven. This history book records remarkable answers to prayer in the two world wars and the Falklands war.

Prior to working for Christian Concern, Tim had a sucessful career in fund management for over twenty years. Tim was the manager of the WHEB Sustainability Fund which he ran from 2012 to 2015. Before that Tim designed and launched the pioneering multi-thematic investment process for the Henderson Industries of the Future Fund which he managed for seven years. This fund and the SRI Team at Henderson received multiple awards over the period, and Tim was named one of Britain's top 100 fund managers by Citywire.

Tim has a degree in Mathematics with Computation from Oxford University. Tim also holds an MA (Distinction) in Kingdom Theology from Westminster Theological Centre. His MA disertation and some of his academic papers can be viewed on academia.edu.
