Yeah, that's why i said it was really rare... but it can happen.
Microphone stands are pretty much never grounded unless they're a permanent installation- and even then, it's rare unless it's being used outside. Also, the drain pipes from the baptistry may very well run for quite some length under the floor before actually going to ground, which won't help you if you grab an electrified mic.
