A Waco, Texas pastor was electrocuted yesterday while performing a baptism. Apparently the Rev. Kyle Lake, 33, was standing in the baptismal water when he grabbed a microphone. From the Associated Press:
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.
