A Virginia-based
church, White Tail Chapel, has got everyone talking, when it introduced a kind
of worship where the members have to praise God naked.
About a year
ago, when the law was enacted, it wasn’t made compulsory for the members of the
church, however, on Sunday, August 2nd, 2015, the head pastor announced to his
congregants that nudity is now mandatory in the church.
According to Daily Mail report, the church, which is located in Ivor in
the southern state of Virginia, has since then asked members and worshippers
alike to leave behind their material concerns including clothing anytime they
come to worship.
The church now
describes itself as a family nudist community where visitors can enjoy all
manner of activities, including spiritual worship in a completely natural
(nude) way.
To justify the
church’s absurd way of worship, 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.
The Pastor 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 nude, saying that White Tail Chapel lacks the
pretense sometimes found at other places of worship. He added that nudity is a
great equalizer as it becomes impossible to judge someone based on their
expensive or shabby clothes if they are not wearing any.
