Of course, the assembly is a whole lot more than I have written about so far. There were prayer meetings at the start of Day 2 and 3, there was the Assembly business session on the afternoon of Day 2, we ate together and chatted together informally, always good. Having decent coffee available at all hours is a good idea. There are also book stalls and one or two other stands. About 44 churches were represented one way or another and there were at least 12 new people there. We are on the old siide and most of us represent small and uninfluential churches. It is good to come together, however. I was encouraged on the whole. Next one May 18-20, 2027.
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.
