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...

TO PROTECT AGAINST ELECTRICAL HAZARDS, DO NOT IMMERSE OBJECT IN WATER.

WTF.... They never heard of GFIs?

Two words: Wireless microphone.
