I just came across this story while checking my Bloglines feeds. It seems a pastor was electricuted when he reached for a microphone while performing a baptism. Maybe he sould have known better — but it is sad. Keep the church he was serving and his family in prayer.
I am the pastor of Hopewell Presbyterian Church in Florence, SC. I have been a Presbyterian Church (USA) pastor for over 20 years. I'm married, with no children - but 3 dogs! I enjoy meeting people, reading, blogging, watching sports, and fishing -- among other things.
The opinions you'll find here are mine alone. They do not necessarily express the views of my church, my Presbytery, my denomination, my family, my friends, or anyone else. The attempted humor you'll find here is definitely mine.

Yes it is sad.
O — and as you can see, Linda, I have taken more control of the content of my blog.Thanks for commenting — and I hope I can keep the “wolves” at bay more.

I hadn’t heard of this until I saw it on your blog.
This is very sad indeed. It sounds like a bad joke with no punch line. The church must be greiving deeply.
