When it comes to elders, they are referred to by three different names. These are not three different offices, but one office with three interchangeable names that indicates their position or role. Elder – speaks to a man’s spiritual maturity. Shepherd or Pastor – speaks to man’s role in caring for the church. Overseer or Bishop – speaks to a man’s role in managing the church. A good example is Acts 20:28: “Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.” The same could be said of 1 Peter 5. Verse 1 – “I exhort the elders.” Verse 2 – “Shepherd the flock.” Verse 2 – “exercising oversight.”

INGREDIENTS

4	x	Large oranges
150	ml	Sweet white wine
1	tb	Butter
8	tb	Sugar
300	ml	Fresh-squeezed orange juice
2	tb	Whiskey (warmed)

INSTRUCTIONS

Carefully peel the oranges thinly.  Then with a sharp knife remove as
much of the pith and white skin as possible, keeping the oranges
intact.  Cut the thin peel into fine strips and cover with the wine.
Put the oranges into an ovenproof dish.  Put a little butter on top
of each one, pressing it down gently, then sprinkle each one with a
teaspoon of sugar.  Put into a 400F oven for 10 minutes or until the
sugar caramelizes. 
. Meanwhile mix the orange juice with the sugar in a saucepan and
bring to the boil.  Lower the heat and let it get syrupy, without
stirring.  Add the orange peel and wine mixture and bring to the boil
again, then cook rapidly to reduce and thicken slightly.   -- Take
the oranges from the oven and if not fully browned, put under a
moderate broiler for a few minutes. Pour the warmed whisky over them
and set it alight, over heat. As the flames die down, add the orange
syrup and let it simmer for about 2 minutes. Serve at once;  or it
can be served cold.
