About twenty of us gathered on Christmas day morning. You never know quite what you will get at these times as so many regular congregants are away, so it is always interesting. This time round there were eight family members, nine members including us and one from Pakistan who brought her sister along, two children of members, an Iranian regular, a Jamiacan regular, an African mother and daughter who live locally and two visiting ladies, one from Nepal and one from Lebanon. Oh yes and two other Iranians we know.
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.
