Texas Pastor Electrocuted During Baptism

WACO, Texas (AP) -- A pastor performing a baptism was electrocuted inside his church Sunday morning after adjusting a nearby microphone while standing in water, a church employee said.

The Rev. Kyle Lake, 33, was stepping into the baptistery as he reached out for the microphone, which produced an electric shock, said University Baptist Church community pastor Ben Dudley.

Water in a baptistery usually reaches above the waist, said Byron Weathersbee, interim university chaplain at Baylor University.

Lake was pronounced dead at Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center, nursing supervisor Pat Mahl said. The woman being baptized apparently had not stepped into the water and was not seriously injured.



Pastors at University Baptist Church routinely use a microphone during baptisms, said Jamie Dudley, the wife of Ben Dudley and a business administrator at the church.

"He was grabbing the microphone so everyone could hear," she said. "It's the only way you can be loud enough."

About 800 people attended the morning service, which was larger than normal because it was homecoming weekend at nearby Baylor University, Dudley said.

Lake had been at the church for nine years, the last seven as pastor. He had a wife, Jennifer, a 5-year-old daughter and two 3-year-old sons.

At a remembrance attended by about 1,000 people Sunday night at First Baptist Church, Ben Dudley told the UBC congregation that they would move forward as a church.

"I don't know how, when, why, where or what's going to happen, but we will continue as a church in the community because that is what Kyle would have wanted," he said.

Haven't they heard of cordless microphones, for Hell's sake?

I mean, as the Devil, I should be laughing my pointy tailed ass off at this story, but it's really kinda sad that some of you mortals ignore well established laws of science.

Such as "electrcity and water do not mix well"

Oh but i come away from it with an opposite message.
It goes to prove to me that as a pastor, people had better be mindfull of what they are teaching the people that follow them.

Now i don't know his history or anything about the man, but annointed by the Holy Spirit he apparently wasn't.

I have to say that i find it troubling that you discount God because of bad things that happen all over the world and ignore the good things that could possibly prove there is a God.

That said, I am totally not surprised.

It wasn't God that made it a shithole, more like the people that dwell there, or anywhere that is a shithole for that matter.
