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.

Huw Edwards the Welsh newsreader has been writing about toilets in churches and how important they are. We have had one here for the minister since way back when and about thirty years ago we added a public one. I am amazed at how busy it is during the service and the lack of awareness of some that it is not sound proofed. We have to take special steps to prevent people coming in off the street and using it. Read more of what Mr Edwards has to say here. He has recently written a book on London's Welsh Chapels. We have a signed copy and I have checked it for references to Dr Lloyd-Jones (there are a few) but must give it more attention some time.
