Divine Reflections: the Christian Nudist
Journal
Introduction: Beginning in 1983, the
Cunninghams produced 13 issues of Divine Reflections (DR). Originally intended
to be merely a newsletter for a few dozen Christian naturists, soon hundreds of
subscriptions came in from all over the English-speaking world. This
publication helped explain the importance of Christian values to naturists. It
also explained the naturist lifestyle from both a biblical and theological
perspective. Though all issues are now
out-of-print, CDs of each issue are available for $7 each. Order by item#.
