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.

Wales Georgia - A win's a win

Louis Rees-Sammit scores the first of two tries

Avid readers of this blog will perhaps have noted an absence of reference to Rugby Football for some time. The chief reason for this is an abysmal losing streak for Wales of six games, under new manager Wayne Pivac. This is their worst such run in seven years (yes, even under Gatland we lost eight on the trot at one point). Anyway last Saturday an experimental side (that included Ian Botham's grandson) beat Georgia 18-0 to halt the slide. It wasn't pretty but a win's a win as they say. England next, so we'll see. Meanwhile the soccer team has qualified for the Euro finals which is very good news. (Haven't bumped into Gareth Bale now he's back in London).
