"Naturism is a way of life in harmony with nature, characterized by the practice of communal nudity, with the intention of encouraging respect for oneself, respect for others and for the environment."

• "Sexual modesty cannot then in any simple way be identified with the use of clothing, nor shamelessness with the absence of clothing and total or partial nakedness... Immodesty is present only when nakedness plays a negative role with regard to the value of the person."
• From “Love and Responsibility” 1981 - “Nakedness itself is not immodest... Immodesty is present only when nakedness plays a negative role with regard to the value of the person, when its aim is to arouse concupiscence, as a result of which the person is put in the position of an object for enjoyment."

C.S. Lewis

• From “The Screwtape Letters” (Screwtape - senior demon- on pornography) - “We have engineered a great increase in the license which society allows to the representation of the apparent nude (not the real nude) in art, and its exhibition on the stage or the bathing beach. It is all a fake, of course; the figures in the popular art are falsely drawn; the real women in bathing suits or tights are actually pinched in and propped up to make them appear firmer and more slender and more boyish than nature allows a full-grown women to be." (Page 107)
• From “The Great Divorce” - "half the people in heaven are nude"
• From "Perelandra" - "Yet could it be possible, in the long run, to wear clothes without learning modesty, and through modesty lasciviousness?"

Dr. R.C. Sproul

• From “The Shattered Image” - "God does not COMMAND us to be clothed. He ALLOWS us to be clothed."
• From “Covering the Shame/The holiness of God” - "Jesus provides the covering for our nakedness... so that once we are covered the righteousness of Christ, we can be naked in the presence of God and not be shamed. We can stop running. We can stop hiding. Because we have been adorned with a gown of perfect righteousness, if we trust in Him."
