soul nurture network

We are very fortunate to have Dr Darrel Caulley as a member of the Soul Nurture Network's team. Darrel has been a veracious reader all his life from when he grew up on a Queensland dairy farm. He has collected many books from the many disciplines that he has studied including major sciences, advanced maths including advanced statistical analysis. He supervised doctoral students and masters' students during his time before retirement. Since his retirement he has read in the areas of religion, history, philosophy with a focus on modern theology.
