He was back in church this morning. After one of our other ministers gave the massage he came up to the front to talk about his ordeal, then gave some presentations for clergy appreciation month. We are very glad to have him back.

I'm very glad to hear he is doing well, especially after a good "massage"!

I know, it was meant to be a "message".

Boyd

well, both and, really. The fill in minister is pretty lively and firey. Throughout the service the Holy Spirit could be felt, and I'm certain that He gave me a massage.

Sounds like a great plan for church growth! lol

Seriously, I'd like to see more Christians massage each other. Massage is as misunderstood as naturism itself, even after 30+ years of its being available as "a healing art and not an advanced sexual technique." (George Downing and Anne Kent Rush, The Massage Book. Random House, 1972) The nudity aspects are still troubling to some, although not to us!

Then you would be VERY interested in what Jeff Bowman is doing right now!

His main website Experiencing Grace is something he started about the time he lost his Pastoralship at a church in California due to his naturist teachings.

"May the Lord protect our nudity from the sight of those who will not benefit, and may he allow us to be seen by those who will."

This is a vital ministry. Yes, I'm familiar with Jeff Bowman's site and have read many of his writings, but I wasn't aware of this particular offer. Unfortunately my "ministry" is neither full-time nor yet accredited by any church or denomination.
