God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
We will not listen or willingly inquire after ill concerning one another; that, if we do hear any ill of each other, we will not be forward to believe it; that as soon as possible we will communicate what we hear by speaking or writing to the person concerned; that until we have done this, we will not write or speak a syllable of it to any other person; that neither will we mention it, after we have done this, to any other person; that we will not make any exception to any of these rules unless we think ourselves absolutely obligated in conference.

INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure a tender crust, this recipe should not be doubled. Thoroughly
freezing the lard or shortening will give you the flakiest crust.
PLACE THE FLOUR AND SALT in the bowl of a food processor and pulse 2-3
times. Scatter the lard or shortening over the flour mixture. Sprinkle with
the water and process about 5 seconds or until dough just begins to form.
Shape into a ball, then flatten it slightly. Dust lightly with flour and
place in the center of a 2-gallon-size plastic storage bag. It may be
refrigerated at this point up to 40 minutes. With the storage bag open and
the dough circle centered in the bag, roll the dough into a circle that
almost touches the edges of the bag. Cut and discard the top sheet of the
plastic bag so that the dough is lying on the bottom sheet. Flip onto the
pie plate; peel the plastic off and discard. Cut the pastry so it hangs
about an inch over the rim. Lightly press the overhanging pastry under
(between the pastry and the pie tin). Pinch or crease the edges of the
pastry in a zigzag or fluted pattern. This is not only decorative, it also
acts as a wall to keep the filling in. Yield: 1 single-crust 8- to 10-inch
pie shell.
