Naked Christian mass cancelled

Complaints from orthodox Christians have forced a group of Dutch Christian naturists to cancel their second church service.
The Garden of Eden group held its first mass in a nudist park this summer and received threats from more reserved believers. Similar protests caused them to cancel their next meeting this weekend.
Members of the faction model their beliefs on the Biblical story of Adam and Eve, who they claim felt no shame as they stood naked before each other.
The group opted to wear no clothes as the Bible does not speak out against nudity or confirm that people should be covered up.
"I don't understand what all the fuss is about... We are just a group of Christians and we want to hold a church service," said a spokesperson.
