A weird
church known as White Tail Chapel is doing the unthinkable by inviting all
worshippers to come as they are– exactly as God made them, that is, come and
worship naked.
According to
Huffington Post, an online publication, the church, located on the grounds of
the White Tail Resort in Ivor, Virginia, United States of America, focuses on
casting off material concerns, including clothes.
White Tail
Resort describes itself as a “Family Nudist Community,” where visitors can
enjoy all manner of activities, including spiritual worship, completely natural
or nude.
To justify
the church’s recourse to worshipping nude, Pastor Allen Parker told ABC 13 that
many of Jesus’ most important moments happened while he was naked.
“When he was
born he was naked, when he was crucified he was naked and when he arose he left
his clothes in the tomb and he was naked,” he said.
“If God made
us that way, how can that be wrong?” he asked.
Katie and
Robert Church even got married in the church, with Robert saying his vows in
the nude.
The couple
told NBC 12 that White Tail Chapel lacks the “pretence” sometimes found at
other places of worship.
“People are
more open as far as hearing the word of God, and speaking the word of God,”
said Robert.
He explained
that nudity is a great equaliser, as it becomes impossible to judge someone
based on their expensive or shabby clothes if they simply aren’t wearing any.
“I consider
this a gift and a privilege God has given me,” Parker told ABC 13.
“They’re
caring, they’re understanding, and they’re community and family oriented. We
have one of the most involved chapels anyplace around. I’ll put our church up
against others around.”
The reports
say first-time nudists get a free pass to attend the church.
