One of the things that I didn't like from my childhood is that my mom made us wear nice clothes to church. For years, I attended in casual clothing; however, I find the notion of attending church without clothes to be liberating.

    I have had 2 experiences of a worship service without clothes; (1) the chapel at White Deer Resort and (2) a CNC (Christian Nudist Convocation) weekend at Avalon.  It is liberating.  By the way, CNC has a group on this website for finding out what CNC is doing.
    To be realistic, churches are clothing compulsory.  Decades ago, I always wore a coat and tie to church.  In recent decades, I have down graded my dress to casual in church.  I wouldn't wear jeans to church.

    While still interested, going to church, I used yo wear suit and tie, very restricting. I disliked the comments about how good someone looked in the dress or suit. Total textile church goers and I'm sick of them all. I don't go to church, as I'm expected to be dressed.

    That you have to wear clothes to go to church is a lame excuse for not going to church.  I cherish my relationship with Jesus.  I need a supporting relationship with a body of believers (a church).

    Catbird, I respect your comment. And yes that close relationship with Jesus is important I agree. I'm just having problems with the rules of dress code and fellow worshipers. This doesn't change my state of faith.

    This is 1 of my problems with organized religions. It's not that your god would be offended by your nude body, its the church that would be. How could your creator be offended by his most magnificent creation. In my church ...I can be naked or clothed...everyday!
