Dec 4, 2017Nude in church? What's the issue? As nudists we are generally very comfortable and natural with each other's naked bodies socially. So why not to a church meeting like that. Modern churches put no score anymore on the way you dress these days. So why bother about a state of undress. I presume, it will be a full nudist congregation, because if not, the nudity may upset other members not used to the nudist lifestyle.
Clothes also show hierarchy and status. So being totally nude all of us, including the pastor/priest, shows symbolically what we should be, ALL EQUAL IN THE EYES OF THE LORD.
Or is it maybe about the spirituality that may be harping here? Like: " One should not speak about or to God in a naked state." An argument like that speaks directly against the nudist lifestyle of freedom, no shame, no judgement. Do you put on clothes before as a nudist you read from the Bible or pray??? A church is just a congregation of believers, worshipping in a common manner and enjoying the fellowship. If one believes that you should be dressed before you are "proper" to approach God/ Maria / Jesus then I find it very questionable.
PS If this post was put up in jest, then I apologies for the long "sermon." Amen!

I have seen a clip from one I think in a southern state.

Dec 4, 2017I have been to many a church where a clothed body equaled a closed mind. Would love a church where mind and body were open, no status no judgement.

Dec 5, 2017A church is a body of like minded individuals. If all who are attending are nudist then everything is decent and in order.

I vote Yes. In that case, I would go to the church again.
Basically, I wished a church that everyone accepted as he is and also how he comes to the church (in my case: the way God created me: naked).

Dec 5, 2017I would love to! Especially on those hot summer days - what a great way to try to stay cool! It would, however, be interesting to attend services naked. It makes me wonder what the priest would wear?

Dec 5, 2017It would be interesting to see how a nudist congregation fared under the laws. It wouldn't be a private club and so laws regarding public nudity probably could be enforced, on the other hand after years of asserting that religion does not give an out from laws of general application, conservatives are arguing just that. (Of course, it's always the question of whether it's their religion or someone else's.) If the Supreme Court finds for the bakery inMasterpiece Cakeshopand thus carves a big religious exemption to anti-discrimination law, I see no reason not to create a religion where nudity is required.ReagierenAntworten - SI
Dec 8, 2017I was at a nudist resort this past weekend and noticed a few people having a bible study. They even have it on the schedule on the website.

God made Adam and Eve Nude and they lived in the Garden Of Eden that way, so why would God or Jesus have any objections to people praying, worshiping and doing Bible study that way. God (through the love making of our parents or just the act of two people) created our bodies and us. So A church for Nudists is A-OK. People who think this is 'dirty' somehow, are essentially saying 'God creates filth in the human form', which of course God does not. It's the certain things one may do to or wit their bodies or someone else's that makes it 'filth'. God does not care if you're wearing your nice $300.00 Sunday suit or your birthday suit, as long as you are honest in faith.

There was a nude church in the 70's and early 80's but my gf would not let me go. Real bummer. I have asked many times but no body can seam to remember it. They probably ran him out of town.

Jan 9, 2018Simply the prevailing mindset tying nude in with lust, professed christians afflicted with that error, nudity is thrown in the sin basket along with lust, without stopping to consider that the old book actually condones nude as part of the original perfect state of man. And the final restored perfect state. I am a christian with no posibility of reverting to anything else, (because ive seen massive proof in multiple unrelated areas that its the only valid thing there is to belive in ) but i also understand that most of christianity has massivly misrepresented God and its own profession ever since shortly after the apostles time. So dont look at the evil that professed christianity has perpetrated and blame the source. Blame the falling away instead. Based on Bible teaching, nudity should be irrelevant. Even beneficial at times. Thats why i am good with it. As for nude church i attended once at naturist resort. Id do it regular if it were avalible. And i end up being music maker almost wherever i go.

Mar 18, 2018Very much absolutely positively yes to that. I saw a news feed on a nudist church service in the states. Only cant remember where exactly. It was awesome and liberating to watch

Mar 18, 2018I'm thinking it would be an idea for a church camp, or retreat. To rid yourself worldly possessions and connect better with God. Without making it seem like so kind of cult of coarse.

so what happens if you yawn in church, or cough, everybody ignores it, or should. you sit on a towel anyway, no different than if you had clothes on in that respect.
Normal things are just that, normally ignored as part of life. And our nude selves should be just as normal.

Mar 25, 2018I don't see why not. Unfortunately where I live many Christians take a very dim view of social and public nudity, thinking it's disgraceful or sinful or is 'a bait for fornication' as one youth pastor said to me when I was in my early 20's and was trying to get a Christian nudist young adult's group together back in the early 90's. The church hasn't changed much since then, but has gradually started reassessing its position on LGBTIQ people though.

May 17, 2018As most here know, Protestant Evangelicals believe in the bodily resurrection of all those who are Christians, with "incorruptible" bodies (Paul in 1 Cor.), thus the "Rapture". Well, imagine this: What if, during a nice, long, fancy church service, rather thanbodiesbeing raptured, theclotheswere?! Why, you know what might happen? People within the church, and withing Christendom in general, would realize a deep, dark secret: Doctors, lawyers, and Indian Chiefs are made exactly the same as, and with the same parts as, dishwashers, bus boys, waitresses, custodians, hotel maids, ditch diggers, and all the rest who don't get led to the "prominent" places of seating within the church! ;) Seriously, though: Long ago in a galaxy far, far away (tm), my wife and I attended an independent "fundamentalist" church, thriving, and full of loving, friendly people. Most were associated with the US Navy or USMC. San Diego. Well. One day, a lovely couple came and visited, and as was the custom then, filled out the "visitor's card", and put it in the offering basket. They had been warmly greeted by various and sundry, including yours truly. But the problem was, the wife was[GASP!!]BRALESS!!And it was quite obvious, due to much kinetic energy. ;) Well. I and another guy were tasked with visiting them that following Tuesday (yet another custom, derived from the book of Hezekiah, Ch. 13, V. 52). Afterward, he mentioned that they were probably trouble, if they continued to attend--due to her lack of modesty. They visited a couple more times, each time her braless, and the friendliness was inversely proportional to their number of visits. Eventually they quit coming, and the question was mentioned, whatever became of the Smiths or whatever their name was? "Well, it was probably best they not attend, as she was a distraction to the men of the church." I almost quit attending over that. It's heartbreaking to me, even now. JimReagierenAntworten
