Yes, a catholic priest I once knew slept nude even when camping and in a sleeping bag. I sleep nude and am a music minister in my parish and have been in others as well.

[Matthew]

I used to sleep nude, but somewhere along the way, after having children, I suppose I became somewhat of a prude. While my views are shifting somewhat these days, I can't say with confidence whether public nudity is OK for any / all Christians, but I do know that apart from our fallen nature and predispositions toward lust and sin, nudity is 100% natural and there is nothing inherently shameful or sinful about how God created us. However, in the privacy of your bedroom, I certainly see no issue with it. Even in public, I would suppose that it may not be a sin for all when handled in a Godly way, and with a Holy mindset. I base that opinion primarily on James 4:17 which says, "Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin." Or at least that's the first scripture that came to my mind.

Yes, and a good many of them are naturists who practice social nudity.

[Matthew]

I would like to meet some of them myself to discuss this topic further; especially as it relates to the Bible, and arguments both for and against Naturism within Christianity. 😉

A lot of pastors participate in Naturist Christians. There are a lot of resources for Christian naturists on the site.

Oh please!

If anyone actually ever read the Bible, they would realize that it isn't a guide for morality. If we followed the Bible, we would kill our sons for being disrespectful and sell our daughters for a few goats.

If anyone actually studied the history of the major religions, they would realize that religious leaders are often so focused on protecting their institutions and their own careers that they completely forget about morality and ethics. You can see that in the way the Catholic Bishops shuffled priests between diocese to squelch the pedophilia scandals.

If a person has a problem with nudity, it isn't due to their religion or their sense of morality. It is due to their own insecurity.

Insecurity and shame. I don't think body shame and insecurity are the same thing. Shame is a powerful tool used by predators on their victims. Insecurity is different.
