There are a lot of temptations for pastors, one of which, because of our public role, is to think of ourselves more highly than we should. And in so doing, we can develop a tendency to depreciate those who are under our leadership. This can be manifested in a number of ways. Our messages can be occasions where we talk down to people. We can berate people about particular sins, though our own sins are just as heinous. We can assume a know-it-all attitude. We can conduct meetings in such a way that we take advantage of people or make light of their thoughts or suggestions. We can make public, veiled references to people. And we can use humor about our members from the pulpit at their emotional expense.

INSTRUCTIONS

GLAZE
Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C).  Grease several baking sheets with butter.
In a large bowl, beat butter with sugar until creamy. Beat in egg yolks,
orange flower water and milk. Add currants. Sift flour and salt into bowl;
mix in to form a fairly stiff dough.  Knead lightly on a floured surface
until smooth.  Roll out to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a round
2-1/2-inch-fluted cookie cutter, cut out circles from dough; place on
prepared baking sheets.  Knead and roll out trimmings; cut out more
circles.  Continue until dough is used up. Bake cookies 10 minutes. Remove
from oven.  Brush cookies with beaten egg white; sprinkle lightly with
superfine sugar.  Return to oven for about 5 minutes longer or until
lightly browned. Remove from baking sheets to wire racks; cool. Store in an
airtight container.  Source: "The Book of Cookies" by Pat Alburey.
