Public nudity may seem antithetical to the modesty often promoted by churches, but to some, the two go hand in hand.
In this image provided by the Religion News Service , Bill and Misty Katz pose in front of their home at Nature's Resort on March 16, 2022, in Elsa, Texas. Bright orange letters welcome you to “Nature’s Resort.” Nothing looks amiss, except for what’s missing — clothing. — Outside the small Texas town of Elsa, a sheet metal fence too tall to see over surrounds a few acres of prime Rio Grande Valley land.
At Nature’s Resort, public nudity is not sexual. “The initial conception is that this is a sexual thing,” Katz says. “People think we’re all out on the front lawn having sex with each other, swapping partners. In fact, if there is any overt sexuality, you see that gate open real fast and somebody is ushered out.”
Even still, nudism attracts unlikely allies. Some nondenominational, hard-line conservative clergy accept nudism. Pastor Ron Smith, of McAllen’s Church of the King, vehemently opposes homosexuality, abortion and the transgender community, but when it comes to nudism, his strident views loosen up.
