123. For a brief history of Legate’s fate see Past Tense, “Bartholomew Legate Burnt for Heresy.” Some historians think Roger grew up in the neighboring section of Holburn instead. If that is true, then it’s unlikely he would have witnessed this execution or its aftermath. For more on the history of Smithfield, see Marxists, “The Peasants’ Revolt. 1381.”

124. A Small Treatise, 61.

125. I’ve lost track by now of the promising new voices I helped promote who became all American Idol-ized once they scored a book deal, and then allowed themselves to be pigeonholed and marketed via the latest “hot” branded publishing platform. Some potential labels include: armchair activist, a/theist, Christian atheist, cussin’ pastor, emergent/emerging, ex-evangelical, holy hipster, Jesus follower, missional, new monastic, organic, post-church, post-liberal, postmodern, progressive, slow church, tattooed theologian, and the list goes on and on and on.

126. I strongly suspect there’s a preponderance of narcissists with a surprising number of these souls also possessing psychopathic/sociopathic tendencies among those who brand themselves as Christian author/speakers. Yes, one finds egos in every profession especially in those fields that elevate a select few to the spotlight. But only in the Christian publishing world do you find individuals who justify their decisions on the basis of a word from God or the stirring of Jesus in their heart. (More often than not, these rumblings would probably be diagnosed as some form of faith based flatulence—think less God and more gas.) These books focusing on the topic of narcissism, psychopathy, and sociopathy offer good primers for those wishing to explore this topic in greater depth: Burgo, The Narcissist You Know; Hare, Without Conscience; James,The Narcissist Next Door; MacKenzie, Psychopath Free; Malkin, Rethinking Narcissism; and Stout, The Sociopath Next Door.

This survey may be small in scope but its findings regarding the preponderance of narcissism in even seeming liberal Canadian clergy are eye opening. See Puls and Gall, “Frequency of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.”
