After 14-years of Naval service, he chose the former and from tough beginnings, at the age of 39 he become Australia’s youngest Anglican Bishop. In 1991 he completed his doctorate in history at the Australian Defence Force Academy. Tom has also written 47 books on theology, philosophy and history which are his passion. The Order of Australia (AM) honour recognises his “significant service to higher education, to the Anglican Church of Australia, and to the community.” Tom is the director of the Howard Library in Canberra (named after former Prime Minister John Howard) a job he enjoys enormously. He is also a former director of the Public Leadership Group and of the Australian Centre for Study of Armed Conflict and Society. He was also Bishop to the Defence Force and directed Saint Mark’s Theological College in Canberra from 2006 to 2014. With his heart firmly placed in rural ministry he has chosen to live in Tarago with his lovely wife Helen raising beef cattle at one of their properties on Mayfield Road. He is also the honorary priest in charge of the Mulwaree Anglican churches St Andrews at Tarago, St Johns at Lake Bathurst and St Matthias at Currawang. Tom is very active in the community when he is not immersed in books and academia, being a member of the Tarago Bushfire Brigade, active sausage sizzler and Truffle Dog Blessing minister for the Mulwaree Anglicans fundraising efforts. He has also held the position of Vice President for the Tarago & District Progress Association Inc (TADPAI) and community representative on the Veolia Community Liaison Committee. He is also a former patron of the Armed Forces Federation of Australia (2002-2006) and Council member of the Australian War Memorial 2004 – 2007.
