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.

London Seminary end of year 2024



It was good to be at the end of year service in the London Seminary, Finchley. Bill James gave a report on the past year, Spencer Cunnah chaired, Edward Malcom preached (Acts 9:20) and the five above, all leaving this year spoke (sometimes movingly) of their time in the seminary. We then had tea on the lawn in the sunshine. The seminary is constantly changing in small ways but it continues to do the important work of preparing men for the ministry (plus the church planting course, the pastors academy and the flourish courses for women). If only there were more men coming to the seminary and preparing for ministry.
