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.
Gaspard de Coligny
Paris is a lovely palce in many ways but largely devoid of Protestant witness. It was a joy to stumble across this 19th century statute of Admiral Coligny (1519-1572) at the back of an Eglise Reformee. A stout Protestant he was martuyred with many others in the St Bartholomew Day massacre. See here for more on Coligny and here for a little on the church.
