The early church used to do this. Few Christians are aware of it. Today's crowd wears underwear in the shower.

It was never really practiced in Northern countries. It just wasn't practical. Secondly, most baptisms are with infants anyway, in front of family and friends. It isn't a necessary form of the rite.

Actually in many Catholic churches infants are baptized nude. When my grandson was baptized he was nude and after baptism he was dressed in his christening gown. I am sure they do not baptize adults nude. If they start I will definitely go back to church for the Easter vigil!

Who's "we"? Some religions already do nude baptism or similar initiary rites.

Depends, an 80 year old weighting 450Lb might make someone wish they didn't have to be baptised

Imagine the voyeristic possibilities (but what about sects that baptise kids?)

co-ed public nude baptism... what a way to increase church membership... can we make it a yearly, or more often, requirement?
