Rev. Kate Bottley is a Church of England vicar who felt called to take her clothes off and pose outdoors for a life-drawing masterclass. The event is to be televised and pumped into the parlours of those among the British public who happen turn on their TV’s at the wrong time.

I’m not sure why she is doing this. Perhaps it is to identify more fully with other average middle-aged ladies who also like to take their clothes off in public – and if we are honest, what respectable matron doesn’t like to expose herself in public once in a while – thereby assuring them that there is nothing strange, quirky or abnormal about the Christian Gospel.

The Rev. declared that after removing her attire, she felt “empowered” and “safe”, and that, after all, is what Christianity is all about.

But do the rest of us feel safe knowing that while innocently strolling in one of Britain’s serene, lush, verdant parks our eyes might be unexpectedly assaulted by a sizable expanse of pink, naked clerical buttock?
