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.

Alfred Noyes


I was walking through the streets of Aber today when I spotted this plaque noting that Alfred Noyes lived here  1881-1898. He was a minor poet and writer and the author of The Highwayman, which I remember doing in Junior School. In 1995 it was voted 15th in a BBC poll for Britain's favourite poem.
