VIRGINIA evangelical church the White Tail Chapel has introduced a
new phenomenon to Christian worship by asking its congregation to serve
the Lord the way God created them by worshipping in the nude.
Based in Ivor in the southern state of Virginia, the church asks all its worshippers to cast off all their material concerns including clothing when they come to worship. White Tail describes itself as a family nudist community where visitors can enjoy all manner of activities, including spiritual worship, completely natural or nude.
Justifying the church’s approach to faith, Pastor Allen Parker said that
many of Jesus’ most important moments happened while he was naked.
Recently, the church even conducted a marriage in the nude with couple
Katie and Robert Church taking their vows in the nude.

Pastor Parker said: “When Jesus 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. If God made us that way, how can that be wrong?
“I consider this a gift and a privilege God has given me as our
members are caring, 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.”
Robert Church also justified getting married in the nude, saying that
White Tail Chapel lacks the pretence sometimes found at other places of
worship. He added that nudity is a great equaliser as it becomes
impossible to judge someone based on their expensive or shabby clothes
if they are not wearing any.
