Jonathan Hugh Frost (born 26 September 1964)[4] is the Bishop of Southampton in the Church of England Diocese of Winchester.
Education and career
Frost graduated from the University of Aberdeen and the University of Nottingham before studying for ordination at Ridley Hall, Cambridge. He was presumably ordained a deacon directly before he began his curacy at West Bridgford in 1993 and then a priest the next year. In 1994, alongside his curacy, he became a police chaplain until he moved on from both posts in 1997 when he became Rector of Ash until 2002. Frost also served on the General Synod[1] during the 2005–2010 session.[5]
His most recent posts prior to the episcopate, since 2002, were as Anglican chaplain to the University of Surrey and a canon residentiary at Guildford Cathedral.[1] In 2007, he became co-ordinating chaplain at the university[1] and was appointed the Bishop of Guildford's Advisor for Inter-Faith Relations.[2] It was announced on 30 July 2010 that Frost would become Bishop of Southampton in the Diocese of Winchester, succeeding Paul Butler (following Butler's translation to Southwell).[1] He was consecrated a bishop at St Paul's Cathedral on 30 November 2010[6] and was welcomed to the Diocese of Winchester as Bishop of Southampton and installed as an honorary canon on 4 December 2010 at Winchester Cathedral.[2]
Marriage and family
Frost is married to Christine, who is a teacher. They have three teenage children.[1]
