In actuality, I believe that a Christian Naturist Association, Organization or Profession-al Organization's mission should reach far beyond other non-Christian naturists.
As Christian Naturists, I believe that we have a freedom to be "naked and unashamed", primarily based on the restorative nature of the spent blood of our Savior on the cross through the power of faith in Him. In this, although we still currently reside in fallen bodies and in a fallen world, we are spiritually and relationally restored to Christ. This freedom gives us a different perspective on the nude human body than that which is found in the world. We now can view ourselves as God created us to be, "made in His image", and as such, we are also granted the additional freedom from the lure of pornography. At least this is what I have found.
I strongly believe that such freedom has the power to change lives and save marriages and families. As such, we should be reaching out, not only to naturists, but to others that are struggling with a worldly view of the human body, including those that are already Christians.
There are many non-believers that prefer to remain uncommitted to Christ because they view Christianity as nothing more than a list of dos and don'ts, rather than the one true path to life and life more abundant. This is one way of chipping at the wall of unbelief.
SON-cerely,
