Timothy Wambunya was the Anglican Bishop of Butere in Kenya[1] until September 2020, when he resigned and left Kenya after recovering from COVID-19.[2]

Wambunya was consecrated as the third Bishop of Butere on 6 October 2013,[3] succeeding Horace Etemesi (1993 - 2003) and Michael Joshua Sande (2003 - 2013).[4]

He has been vicar of St Paul's Church in Slough since September 2020.[5]

Aged 19, Wambunya left Kenya for the United Kingdom and spent seven years in the navy before training for the priesthood. He was a parish priest in Islington, before returning to Kenya as a mission partner.

Wambunya gained a BA in theology from Middlesex University in 1996, followed by a master's in Philosophy from Oxford University and a PhD in Paremiology from Wales University.[6]
