In the Garden of Eden

BritishNaturism's answer:

The Garden of Eden is a good answer! The better question would be; where did clothesism begin? All we know is that it probably started about 71,000 years ago, based on analysis of the DNA of the clothes louse that, by definition, cannot have existed until the advent of clothes. That means that for the majority of our evolution we did not wear clothes.

For modern Naturism, The earliest known naturist club in the world was formed in 1891 in British India. Founded by Charles Edward Gordon Crawford, a widower, who was a District and Sessions Judge for the Bombay Civil Service at Thana. However, this didn't really get the modern movement going. There is some interest after this, but it is held back by the first world war, only recovering slowly after that war, but managing to establish considerable interest before the start of WWII. This interest was probably greatest in Germany where, despite Nazi opposition, the Freikörperkultur (or FKK) movement became very popular. This has lead to claims that modern Naturism started in Germany in the 1930's, but the real story is more complicated than that.

The Naturism movement is least strong in what regard?

It is least strong with its leadershipBritishNaturism's Answer:Our greatest weakness is probably that most Naturists are reluctant to tell their friends or even family about their Naturism. Probably every member of CAMRA will wax lyrical about the joy of real ale to their friends at some point, but how many members of BN would do the same about Naturism?The main reason for this is a perceived lack of understanding and acceptance of what Naturism is about. This perception is often reinforced by the way the media sometimes reports news about Naturism - looking for a scandal wherever they can find it, they sometimes bend the truth or at the very least cherry-pick a story to give a more controversial take on what we are about. Sometimes it is the choice of words used, other times they just can't resist the tired old puns we have heard so many times that they are no longer funny.There is nothing illegal or morally wrong with Naturism and it is practised by people from all walks of life from bin men to barristers as well as ministers of various religions. Sadly there are some professions where past experience has shown that it is safer to keep quite about being a Naturist, but only because of the prejudice and lack of knowledge of those who could have an adverse effect on their career!BN is doing what it can to break down the barriers, but we would be much stronger if all Naturists, not just those who are BN members, would tell everyone what a positive thing Naturism is in their lives.


Can you be a Christian aswell as a naturist?

You can very well be christian and a naturist; the reality of being a christian is to accept all as one and one as all. To love nature is just a mere part of being christian or any other type of oneness with the universe that is portrayed in all religions.British Naturism's answer:Yes, you can. There is no conflict between Naturism and Christianity and there are many Christian ministers who are also Naturists.
