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.

Westminster Conference 2010/2011

So another conference over. It seemed pretty good to me. The only major faults are really ones that involve hindsight or just the way things are. About 130 attended. It is a little on the older side, I guess. Clearly many people who got the bug for it years back are continuing to come. Others no doubt are not sure if they can spare two days in December and £50 plus to cover costs. The Amerian Church has its drawbacks and next year we are off to a new venue, Regent Hall, Oxford Street.
The programme is

1. Christian Liberty and the Westminster Assembly
2. The covenanting experience
3. Obadiah Holmes
4. Socinianism then and now
5. Puritanism - where did it all go wrong?
6. John Eliot
