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.

Sound mixer extraordinaire


I caught this fellow on TV last night. There were five novelty acts and his was the only decent one. Wacky but fun. He's called Duane Flatmo.

Can't make it up (again)

Exeter University 2008 - top: The Welsh society;
middle: the cheerleading society;
bottom: CU meeting (under Mr Shaw's radical new proposals)
Some of you will remember or still be following the case of Exeter Uni CU. Apparently Mark Shaw QC, the independent adjudicator appointed by Exeter University, to look into the case has now presented his adjudication. He strongly criticises the constitution of Exeter CU because it restricts membership to Christians, despite the fact its meetings were open to everyone – of all faiths and none. He holds it discriminatory that the CU should be run by Christians and held that the guild policies in forcing the CU to be led by members open to other faiths was "laudable". Most bizarrely, in paragraph 92 (4) of his adjudication, he even goes on to suggest that on the Exeter University campus, the
'Welsh Society should be open to Scottish members; the wine society open to teetotal members, the choral society should be open to non-singing members, and the cheerleading society should be open to male members ...' Yeah, right.
