What’s your honest reaction to this story from The Week:
Waco, Texas
Church tragedy: The pastor of a Texas church was electrocuted this week when he grabbed a microphone while standing in a baptismal pool. About 800 people watched helplessly as the Rev. Kyle Lake, 33, of University Baptist Church in Waco, began flailing after he stepped into the waist-deep water. The woman being baptized had not yet entered the water, and was not hurt. The church was more crowded than usual because it was homecoming weekend at nearby Baylor University. “He was grabbing the microphone so everyone could hear,” said one church goer. “It’s the only way you can be loud enough.”
My reaction? I laughed out loud.
