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.

Aberystwyth 1823



As familar as I am with Aberystwyth I had never noticed this interesting plaque until it was pointed out to me this week. It says
IN THIS HOUSE
WAS FORMULATED
THE CONFESSION OF FAITH OF
THE
CALVINISTIC METHODISTS
1823

the building doesn't look old enough to have been there in 1823. Is the plaque relocated from an earlier building on the same site?

Nice plaque. By the look of the bricks the building is that old - the façade is maybe 1960's or later.

Yes, it's probably just the facade that's been altered.
