On Saturday I was in Pershore, Worcestershire for the induction of Andrew Lolley as the assistant pastor at Pershore Evanglical Church in Worcestershire. These last three yers have been difficult ones for Andrew and Jill following their decision to leave the previous work in Perth. The Lord has led them, however, and they have benefited from the ministry of Noel Ramsey above in Wensleydale Evangelical Churchm, Leyburn. The new church is small but vibrant. The plan is for Andrew to work alongside Clive Bryant the founding elder. The church has no building but they have use of a school and about ffty gathered there to hear Noel preach and to mark this new era. Good day.
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.
