“Nakedness in Scripture isn’t all about body shame and
sexual sin. If it was, the church
fathers would not have so clearly expounded the display of spiritual meaning in
the early ritual of nude baptism, where naked immersion signified to them a
return to original innocence. Learning
from our ancestors in the faith [we can] . . . boldly recapture this former,
healthier attitude of body acceptance through a renewed symbolic use of naked truth. Our society, and the modern church, need
retraining, not only in a wholesome view of our divinely gender-distinctive
anatomy, but also in a virtuous response to truth’s power over relativism.” -

“I’ve met several people
who have lived at Olive Dell Ranch for years.
The oldest current member joined in 1958. As I came back from a freehike I met and
talked briefly with Al and Missy, barbequing nude, who have lived as naturists
at Olive Dell for over 50 years. I
soaked with David who has lived continuously at the resort for 25 years. I met a young couple who just had a new
baby. The mom was raised at the
resort. I’ve met several teenagers who
have been raised as naturists at the resort.
It’s a world apart, but in my estimation, a very good way to live.” -

“I do think we have become scared of the sun. I think the (skin cancer) advice could have
contributed to this and we now need to work out what is sensible and safe sun
exposure. In the past, it seemed that
the safe option was to avoid sun and apply high factor sun cream. Now we know
there is a consequence of low vitamin D, it’s time dermatologists and vitamin D
researchers looked into this. I should also
emphasize that in the UK in the winter months, the angle of the sun does not
allow for vitamin D synthesis. We spend
less time in the sun, many people’s diets are terrible, and we don’t take cod
liver oil – this could be the perfect storm for a vitamin D epidemic. . . It
seems we evolved to live outdoors and we need to keep this in the back of our
minds.” - Mr Graeme Close, http://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/health/brits-prepare-summer-sunshine-could-5681008
“I used to hate being naked. In my late teens and early 20s, I would keep
a towel wrapped around me after a shower while puttering in the bathroom, I
would wear a bathing suit in the shower at the gym, and I would banish lights
while having sex . . . I was a professional body-shamer, with my only target
being myself. I didn't like the way my
thighs chafed, and I loved big, belly-bulge-covering sweatshirts. All this body-hiding made me fold within,
alone with doubt and self-judgment, only inviting food and television to join
me. This did little to raise my body
confidence. This changed in my mid-20s
when I got pregnant, and everything became huge and bloated. I was so proud of my body for making a baby,
I would just stare at it, loving it all, even my bloated elbows. And nothing but nakedness fit
comfortably. After birthing in the buff,
I was addicted. In the first weeks of my
baby's life, I would only put on pants if company was coming over but rarely
bothered with a shirt – that's what the
nursing baby was for. If I had to go
into the public realm, I would wear a shirt, but I was so done with bras.
Especially underwire. Never again. They're masochistic! I am free and being naked is a stark reminder
of that.” – Bailey Gaddis, http://www.cosmopolitan.com/lifestyle/a48738/walk-around-naked/
