true story!

[inkling]

I totally stole this off the yahoo group, someone called "Brian" posted it. Hope he doesn't mind!

There was an amzing story in today's 'Times' Newspaper concerning an American Baptist minister. Whilst performing a baptism, & standing in water, he called for a live mic, so his preaching might be heard by the crowd on the bank. The resulting blue electrical flash on the water killed him!
US authorities have now recommended that in future, ministers use cordless radio mics when partially submerged in water.
Now, where have I seen an incident similar to this before on television?

Lol! Wonder if he was connected with those strange American baptist types who wanted to baptise Gordon after his resurrection!

No, they'd probably had very bad bangs to the heads meaning that they thought the only way to heat water was to put an electric fire in it. Good Old Col.

God doesn't protect ministers who stand in water holding electrical devices you know
