Central VA congregation worships nudePosted: Feb 10, 2014 1:52 AM CSTUpdated: Feb 10, 2014 9:18 AM CSTBy Curt Autry - bio | emailSOUTHAMPTON, VA (WWBT) -About an hour's drive south of Richmond, there's a small congregation that doesn't care about "material" things. They worship the same way we were all brought into this world, naked.Even in February, when temperatures can average in the 20s, members show up in various forms: some fully clothed, others topless, many still completely nude.Pastor Allen Parker says it's not about the clothes, or lack thereof. He says it's about baring his soul to Christ and leading his flock down that path of righteousness, no matter what they're wearing.Every Sunday in the front few rows of White Tail Chapel, you'll find Katie and Robert Church. Katie wasn't a nudist when they first met, but quickly fell in love with both Robert and the resort. They married at White Tail Chapel and say the church has given them a sense of Christian community with none of the pretense of a traditional church.
I grok it; I just don't like it. It's a stoopit interpretation of the preaching against gross materiality. Lots of proper soul-baring goes on without showing one's ass to God and everybody.
