My recent walk along the Thames landed me near the Florence Nightingale Museum, a museum I have known of and wanted to visit for a while. It is small and specific but very well done. I timed it right to catch a woman performing (convincingly) as Mary Seacole for half an hour. That added to the experience. Evryone should know about Florence Nightingale and the museum helps us to that end well. Musea today are eager to cover all the bases and so it was good to see that ion the bookshop they not ony had Mary Seacole's story but that of Betsi Cadwaladr too.
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.
