I know that many DUers are opposed to any kind of prosletlyzing. If you oppose the ministry on this basis, it is your opinion. Reading the website though, the founder of the ministry is an ex stripper, who perhaps had some other problems as well. She recognizes and advises would be ministers to the dancers not to be judgemental and does not tell strippers that they have to leave their industry. She regcognizes that stripping may be the best way to earn money that some of these women have. It seems that what she is trying to do is to minister Christianity in a way that does not condemn these women. Because of how sex work is viewed by this society as well as most churches, many strippers think that being religious and being a stripper is incompatible with being religious and may suffer low self esteem, both spiritually and non spirtually. Many patrons and the public in general view and let these women know that their opinion of them is that they are nothing more than "sluts" or "whores". I don't think that telling a stripper, who is receptive to the message, that she is a child of God is a bad thing. I hope that I don't sound like a Freeper. I don't know if I explained this properly.
