Nadim Nassar

The Revd Nadim Nassar (born 1964) is a Syrian-British Anglican priest, who is the Executive Director and Founder of the Awareness Foundation. He established the Awareness Foundation in 2003 with Bishop Michael Marshall in response to the growing need to study the Christian faith in the context of the 21st century.

In 2018, Nassar's first book, "The Culture of God", was published by Hodder & Stoughton. The BBC's Edward Stourton said, 'So much of the reporting of the Middle East at the moment reflects war and human misery; it's inspiring to find, in this thoughtful and engaging book, a message of hope from what Fr Nadim calls "that region of the world that God chose to live in when he took human form"'

Background Nadim was born in 1964, He is the only Syrian priest in the Church of England. He studied at the Near East School of Theology between 1981 and 1988, graduating with a Bachelor of Theology (BTh) degree. From 2003 to 2011, he was an honorary assistant curate at Holy Trinity, Sloane Street in the Diocese of London.
