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.
Julie Fowlis at Union Chapel
Went with Rhodri to see Julie Fowlis and her band last night at the Union Chapel in Islington. Great set of now familiar tunes. This is a much larger (and more expensive) venue than the Irish Centre where I saw them last six months ago (before the baby). Around 250 of us in pews this time I guess. The bonus features this time were a bodhran solo from Martin O'Neill (something I'd not only not seen before but had not realised was entirely possible) and an opportunity to meet the lovely Julie herself and her charming husband Eamon. Great evening.

Is it still a place of worship or just a venue?
They're actually looking for a minister, if you're interested Jonathan. Although there may be some theological differences.
