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 museums



I managed to get to two museums last week. Monday was a bank holiday and so we took the youngest boy to the British Museum. It didn't sustain their interest very well (the youngest enjoyed claiming they were all fakes) but I think there is something about the very place that has an impact - the rosetta stone, the Elgin marbles, etc. We met up with the older boys at Trafalgar Square later and went on to Covent Garden for a little while.
Then on Friday when I got off the train from Liverpool I noticed the Wellcome Collection that has a museum of curiosities among some other interesting things. I've always wanted to pop in and so this week I had my opportunity. Good fun.
