Episcopal churches in region battle lightning

From Kansas-

Within the past year, two large Episcopal churches in  east-central Kansas have been struck by lightning. Each was struck previously, as well.

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church


St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, 828 Commercial St., has learned that lightning does strike twice — three times, in fact.


“The cross above the narthex was struck by lightning again on the night of July 26,” writes Patrick Kelley, Chief Warden of the church. “The cross was shattered, the roof received minor damage, two small panes in the big Te Deum window were damaged by shards, our wonderful electronic organ was damaged and the amplifier for the public address system is only half the gadget it used to be.”
