It gives me hope that the idea of naturism is actually making some headway against the body-phobia of our contemporary American culture, when a Christian media figure as prominent and as main-stream as John Tesh is willing to promote the idea of "Nakations", the AANR-coined word for "naked vacations". The growing popularity of nudist vacation destinations has been chronicled in a number of publications like the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and USA Today, but this is one of the first instances I have seen of this trend being positively reported through a Christian media outlet.
I only hope Mr. Tesh doesn't get tarred and feathered by too many well-meaning Christians who ignorantly take their cultural assumptions as a biblical proscription against nudity. (There are no such proscriptions in the bible.) Alas, since I know this element is alive-and-well as a small but sometimes vocal minority in American Christendom, I intend to send him a 'thank you' note for publishing the article. Hopefully it will help to mitigate any negative comments he receives. I would urge all of my Christian naturist friends to do the same.
Thank you John Tesh!
