BiographyHistory

Born in Sydney, Frame was raised and educated in Wollongong. On leaving school he joined the Royal Australian Naval College and, on completion of his training, was posted to HMAS Cerberus as an instructor.

Frame futhered his studies by undertaking a Diploma in Education (University of Melbourne) and a PhD in military history (Australian Defence Force Academy, University of New South Wales). In 1992, Frame resigned from the navy in order to complete an MTh ( St Mark's National Theological Centre, Charles Sturt University) and train for ministry in the Anglican church. Frame served in various parish and diocesan roles within the Anglican Diocese of Canberra & Goulburn before being appointed Anglican Bishop to the Australian Defence Force in 2001. In 2007 he took up the position of Director at St Mark's National Theological Centre.

Frame is the author of a range of military and church histories, including First In, Last Out! The Navy at Gallipoli (1990), Where Fate Calls: The HMAS Voyager Tragedy (1992), Labouring in Vain: A History of Bishopthorpe (1996), The Shores of Gallipoli: Naval Aspects of the Anzac Campaign (2000) and A Church for a Nation (2000). In 2009, UNSW Press published Frame's Evolution in the Antipodes: Charles Darwin and Australia and Losing My Religion; the latter was named the 2010 Australian Christian Book of the Year at the Australian Christian Literature Awards.
