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.

Another wedding

Another weekend another wedding! This was the last of three in a row this summer (with one more to come) for us. This time we were just at the wedding itself and it was only up the road in Welwyn, where Luke Jenner has been the assistant to Mostyn Roberts since leaving LTS. He was assigned to us when in LTS. He was marrying Miriam, a member at Castlefields, Derby. Mostyn married them and the pastor from Derby, David Fielding, preached. It was a joy to be there and to meet various people we know and don't know from the various places where Luke and Miriam have connections (Welwyn, Derby, Halifax, London, Aber, etc).
