There is no real relationship to Dover here, just an apology for god in the death of a preacher. I am not sure what is more amusing/disturbing...the Xian apology for the death of a preacher, or the fact of the minister being electrocuted by a live mike while performing Baptisms in water.
In the end, maybe God was taking the preacher home because he was too stupid to live...
Very strange. A taste from the article:
"The ABPnews.com headline read: "Waco pastor Kyle Lake killed in freak baptism accident." I thought to myself: "Yeah, I guess this one just slipped by the Sovereign God of the Universe. Maybe the Lord was stuck in line at the food court waiting for an espresso when the lights flickered.
"His eye is on the sparrow" but evidently not on a prominent Emerging Church leader standing in a baptistery full of water holding an electronically charged microphone before a crowd of 800 on Sunday morning following a prayer where he petitioned the Almighty to "surprise me." Apparently the Ancient of Days only numbers the hairs of your head when you're properly grounded.
If the ABP article and its curious headline had appeared in The Associated Press rather than the Associated Baptist Press, it probably wouldn't have drawn my attention; but seeing as it was featured in a "faith-based" publication, the article's title stands out like a sore oxymoron..."
