Perhaps they want to shed the extraneous trappings of the material world and focus on those gifts endowed to us by the Creator.

Perhaps they’ve fallen under the spell of Rodney Howard-Browne, and are simply trying their darndest to hasten another manifestation of the "Holy laughter" movement.

Peter - do you really expect anyone to explain the workings of the mind of someone who actually goes to a nudist colony??? I’m just glad that Catholics didn’t think of this thing. I mean, after all, I would much rather have Sister Mary Margaret rap me on the knuckles with a ruler than to see her running into the ocean naked! Does this article mean that we’ll see the Director of the Ashbrook Center pull up on his "hog" to his special parking space in his birthday suit every Friday?

Dear Tony,
The fact that the image of me on my bike in my birthnday suit ever entered your mind is a very bad sign. Go read a good book, will you. You don’t win the mug!

I agree that it is a truly horrific thought! But, thinking of post-modernism, why are you trying to impose "your" truth on "my" truth. Stop being so judgmental! Peter, if it feels good, do it! Though it might be a bit cold! Of course, I can encourage this kind of behavior because I’m not a 19 year old co-ed walking around Ashland that actually has to witness this! A mug for creativity?
