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.

Annual Lecture Evangelical Library

This is a reminder that at 7 pm on Monday, June 6, at the Evangelical Library, Austin Walker will speak on the subject of "William Carey and his books".
This year sees the 250th anniversary of the birth of William Carey, often referred to as “the father of modern missions”. This lecture on Carey and his books will focus both on what he wrote and what he read.
Austin Walker actually comes from North London but has studied in Wales and in Westminster Theological Seminary, USA. In 1975 after his return to the UK, he became one of the pastors of what is now known as Maidenbower Baptist Church in Crawley, West Sussex. Becoming full-time in 1979, he has continued in that role up to the present day. An author as well as a pastor, Austin is married to Mai and they have four children and seven grandchildren.
This will be the first time that the annual lecture has been held at the new Library premises. We are hoping for a good turn out.

Well perhaps if someone answered the buzzer to let cars in you might get a better attendance!
