DISCLAIMER: Publications by The Family are archived here for educational purposes. The content is occasionally sexually explicit, offensive or promotive of criminal acts and we collect them to document their existence and wording but do not condone the points of view or activities. Original spelling, grammar, and style have been preserved where possible.

Glorify God in the Dance was the title of both a Mo Letter[1] and a pornographic video produced by Music with Meaning as well as a term used in the Children of God/The Family to describe nude dances performed on video camera by women, teens, and even young children for the pleasure of David Berg.[2][3][4] The term is taken from Psalms 149:3 where it reads, "Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp".

In September 1981, Family members at MWM in Greece filmed 20 adults and children performing pornographic strip-tease dances for the sexual gratification of David Berg and others. The video was titled "Glorify God in the dance" and primarily based on the instructions by David Berg in the Mo Letter of the same name published a few months earlier.

Credits

The video included a section in which those who helped make the video were identified:
