Known as Jandals (Japanese sandals), thongs and chappals elsewhere, I've always called them flip flops, which is a great name. When I looked the word up on Wikipedia some joker had managed to insert the idea that they were invented by Phillipe Phillope!
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.

In Greek [in Cyprus at least] they are called φλι-φλό. I jest not.
Thanks for the free flow of ideas coming from your direction.
