Many
churchgoers feel pressure to dress in their Sunday best when they
attend a worship service, but that concept is foreign to members of a
small congregation in Virginia, who worship God in the nude.
At
White Tail Chapel in Ivor, Va., members mostly attend church with no
clothes on, but some go topless.
“There’s
not a feeling that you have to be better than one another,
physically,” pastor Allen Parker told
WWBT NBC12.
“We’re humans, we have scars, we have what we have. … It’s
learning to love and accept that.”
The
nontraditional church is part of White Tail Resort, a “family
nudist community,” according to its website. It opened in 1984 and
is the only year-round no clothes resort in Virginia. More than
10,000 people visited last year.
Katie
Church wasn’t a nudist when she met her husband, Robert, but she
quickly fell for him and the resort. She embraced the nudist
lifestyle, and the Churches got married at White Tail.
“Once
we were married, and we were here, this whole place became our
family,” Katie Church told WWBT. “I feel like I can turn to
anyone in this church, or even in this park, and they will be there
to help me.”
Her
husband agrees. “People are more open as far as hearing the Word of
God and speaking the Word of God,” he says.
Parker
argues that some of Jesus’ biggest moments in life 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,” Parker explained to WVEC ABC13. “If God made us that way, how can that be wrong?”

Parker
agrees with resort visitors who say being a nudist is about being
free from societal judgment in a stress-free environment where
everyone is equal.
“I
consider this a gift and a privilege God has given me,” he told
WVEC. “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.”
