Church of England Appoints Female Nudist as Bishop

Karen Gorham

Another one of the seven new female Church of England bishops appointed since December 2014 is Karen Gorham, Bishop of Sherborne, a supporter of nudist colonies. Part of her ecclesiastical territory is the Studland nudist beach where her family experienced “naturism” when she was a child (“Church of England appoints nudist bishop,” Breitbart, Nov. 30, 2015). Though Gorham allegedly “stopped going nude while she was a teen,” she has written a treatise supporting the practice and urging “the Church” to remove “false taboos.” “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them” (Genesis 3:21). “And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid” (Mark 5:15).
