"Nudist Pastor To Hold Naked Services"


Wondering if the statement "In Australia there is a pastor of a so-called Christian church that consistently preaches to his congregation while completely nude." from an article at  http://www.lasttrumpetministries.org/2005/September2005a.html was true or not, I did a search and found the following article called "Nudist Pastor To Hold Naked Services."
 
"A naturist church minister has called on like-minded Christians to join him in celebrating religion in the nude."
 
"Pastor Robert Wright, 51, is to hold weekly fellowship meetings at a nudist resort near Brisbane, reports the Australian Daily Telegraph."

"Mr. Wright, who has been a naturist for more than 16 years, said: "I am not trying to get Christians to become nudists, I am catering for Christians who are nudists."

"Mr Wright, who was ordained three years ago, is also to open a naked music festival at nearby Cabarita and lead services there."

"Even security guards will be naked at the event, Raw Cabarita, which promises "an awesome three-day party where clothes aren't necessary".

"But Mr Wright added: "Nude is not rude, and the festival will not be like a '69 Woodstock-type thing."

"There are more Christians in it than people realise. We are not into sex orgies, we are very well-adjusted people."

God made coats of skins, and clothed Adam & Eve according to Genesis 3:21.  The book of Exodus also tells us the following in regard to any priest serving in the tabernacle or near the altar in the holy place.
 
Exodus 20:26  Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
 
Exodus 28:41  And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
42  And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:
43  And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him.
