It was a joy last Thursday to be at the wedding of Sam and Marni. Unusually all 19 of us Bradys had been kindly invited to the wedding, which started in Minster Evangelical Church and spent most of the day in Pencoed House, an excellent venue where we were well catered for food and entertainment wise. Four Bradys took part (my second son married them, my daughter-in-law was a bridesmaid, two grand daughters were flower girls). Sam and Marni are members of the same church in Cardiff (as is my third son and his wife - Dewi and Sama are both deacons) but their roots are on opposite sides of the world in that Sam's parents are originally from Hong Kong and Marni's live in Iowa, USA. Sam is a GP and Marni works at Bryntirion for Union. They are a great couple.
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.
