That guy would be televangelist today

From Pepys' diary, 1666:

"Lord’s day; and my wife and I the first time together at church since the plague, and now only because of Mr. Mills his coming home to preach his first sermon; expecting a great excuse for his leaving the parish before any body went, and now staying till all are come home; but he made but a very poor and short excuse, and a bad sermon..."

Hmmm.

Possible new term for a group, a la "Pride of lions" and "Murder of crows"

A "Plague of Christians."
