Only reference on the Internet to "nudity in church" was this article in Christianity Today. From nine years ago. The article is about artwork containing nudes. Well, Adam and Eve were naked in the Garden, right? And there's a painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel depicting it, right?
That, and a couple boneheaded you.tube videos that are probably staged. Nothing to get bent out of shape about. Unless you're able to prove pornography or blatant, live nudity in an actual house of worship, I think this is a non-issue except in a church or two, which probably have forfeited their rights to refer to themselves as "God's house."

The Bible doesn't specifically address it apart from calling on us to wear modest apparel.
I personally am not offended by nudity unless it is associated with sexual contact; but I can't speak for others.
I think that most men lack the self discipline to look at a woman's body without some level of lust.
If you can look at a naked person of the opposite sex with the same attitude that you look at a flower or a sunset then there is no problem. Many women can; but most men can't.

Just so you know...the flowers are considered clothing for the grass according to Jesus...and also...
Romans 15:1-3Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
15*We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2*Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. 3*For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

When I was pagan we would have gatherings at a nudist colony who leased us property for our events. Why is it people you never want to see naked always seem to join those places?
No, we're to be clothed because Adam and Eve clothed themselves after the fall in the garden. I haven't heard of any churches proposing this. And I think the OP would have served their point better had they posted a link or some other evidence supporting their contention.
Then again, so many former church denominations are turning Apostate now that it isn't beyond possibility.

Besides the White Trail Chapel,which is a nudist church. There is a church in Panama,Florida called Christian Life Center that held a nude party during spring break..March 2015. Anyways....I guess this is how it starts and then multiplies...just like Gay churches...embracing the idea that being gay is a gift and living a homosexual life style is ok...
