Bede Frost

[1] By 1898 Frost was working at St John the Baptist in Spalding, and the following year he was appointed lay reader.

[3] He then travelled to Fiji and was Vicar of Holy Redeemer, Levuka (1911-1913),[3] during which time he installed the high altar (carved by a Canadian sculptor named Le Francoeur) as a memorial to his predecessor, the Rev William Floyd.

[6] On 6 August 1915 he was cited to appear before Dr Anderson, the Bishop of Riverina, on charges of false doctrine,[1] having taught his confirmation candidates to make confession to a priest before taking communion, invocation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Saints, and other 'Romish' practices such as describing the main Sunday service as High Mass.

[8] After resigning as Vicar of Broken Hill, Frost was summoned to serve in the Episcopal Church in the Philippines by Bishop Charles Brent[2] Initially Frost was a missionary at Bontoc (1915-1917)[1] and then as the assistant priest to the Rev John Staunton at St Mary the Virgin, Sagada.

[10] Graves undertook a visitation in November 1918, and held the singing of hymns before the Reserved Sacrament and the statue of the Virgin to be illegal.

[11] On Frost's return to England, he was appointed an assistant priest under Fr Henry Ross at St Alban's, Holborn (1925-1926), before going to India where he was Chaplain at Dibrugarh (1926-1927) and Chittagong (1927-1928).
