Naked and Not Ashamed
This guy is planning on opening a “Christian nudist camp” in Florida. The Times article says:
Martin and his supporters argue that nudism is unhealthy, especially for children, unless it occurs in a proper Christian context. He has criticised non- religious nudist camps for encouraging alcohol and sensuality. “We are going after a totally different group, a group that doesn’t want a sexual atmosphere,†he said. “There is absolutely no relationship between nudity and sex.â€
Except, rumor has it, it helps to be naked during said activities. I’m not sure what they plan on gaining from this experience.
Much of his group’s philosophy appears in a book, Nakedness and the Bible, self- published on the internet by Paul Bowman, a Canadian author. The book cites several biblical references suggesting that God does not disapprove of nudity and that Jesus may have been naked at several key moments of his life — notably when he washed the feet of his disciples.
Not so sure. But I would like to point out this interesting passage in John 21:
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord.” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea.
