I hear that the situation at Exeter University made the front page of the Times on Saturday.
I also understand that Edinburgh University has banned the CU there from running a course called PURE, which presents the biblical basis for personal relationships. The University believes PURE is in breach of its equality and diversity policy because it claims that any sexual activity outside heterosexual marriage is wrong. it is, of course, an attack on free speech.
UCCF want people to write to the Principal/Vice-Chancellor (Timothy O'Shea) to protest (Old College, South Bridge EH8 9YL).

The similar phrase 'Worldly Christianity' is one used by Bonhoeffer. It's J Gresham Machen that I want to line up most closely with. See his Christianity and culture here. Having done commentaries on Proverbs (Heavenly Wisdom) and Song of Songs (Heavenly Love), a matching title for Ecclesiastes would be Heavenly Worldliness. For my stance on worldliness, see 3 posts here.
