Why? This seems so senseless... Kyle Lake, the pastor of University Baptist Church in Waco, TX, was killed Sunday morning at a baptism service. He reached for a microphone and was electrocuted. I knew about Kyle and UBC mostly through one of my favorite artists, David Crowder, who is the worship pastor there. Kyle also authored two books, Understanding God's Will: How to Hack the Equation without Formulas and (Re)understanding Prayer: A Fresh Approach to Conversation with God. Here are some reactions and thought from the WWW this morning...
Christianity Today muses on what Kyle might have had to say about his own death by reprinting some of his own writing.
Dan Kimball can't concentrate on preaching as he reflects on this tragedy and on the remarkable coincidence of the death of Mike Yaconelli two years ago to the day.
Brian McLaren remembers Kyle on the Emergent Blog. He reminds us that 2005 was the year we lost Stanley Grenz as well... an important theologian and friend of Emergent.
Marko's reflections here...
God, reveal Yourself through this tragedy. Kyle leaves behind a wife and three young children. Hold them tight and bring them comfort and peace. We need You so badly, Father...
