Paul Nugent
Born in Cambridge, England, in 1958, Paul Nugent was brought up in the Church of England, culminating in regular worship and charitable work for the homeless at London's famous St. Martin’s in the Fields church in Trafalgar Square, sometimes called “The Parish Church of England.”
Having completed a business degree in 1980, he later embarked on a four-year study of Eastern Philosophy at London's School of Economic Science, as well as spending two periods at the New Age spiritual community of Findhorn in the north of Scotland. At the same time, he was introduced to the cosmic teachings of The Aetherius Society that had been founded in London in 1955 by Western Master of Yoga, Dr. George King. He became a member of The Aetherius Society in 1986, and in 1990 moved permanently to the Society's American Headquarters in Los Angeles. In 1992, he became a personal assistant to Dr. King, remaining at his side until his passing in July 1997. He has been a director of The Aetherius Society since 2001.
He is also very active in interfaith, having served on various boards including the Southern California Committee for a Parliament of the World’s Religions (SCCPWR) and the Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace (ICUJP).
