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.

New Ageist Policy

On the news today they are saying that the royal succession will no longer be decided by gender. It will still be decided on age though. It will be the eldest child that gets to succeed. This is clearly ageist. Why this arbitrary emphasis on age? Far better if the youngest succeeds, surely? And then  this thing about Roman Catholics. No mention of Satanists I notice. As ever, so backward looking.
