What is Mother Kirk?

Mother Kirk is a term commonly used by Scottish Presbyterian churches to refer to their collective history and identity as a faith community. The name is derived from the idea that the Scottish Kirk is the mother church of Presbyterianism, since it played a crucial role in the development and spread of the religion throughout the world. Mother Kirk is not a specific church or organization, but rather a symbol of unity among Scottish Presbyterians and a reminder of their shared heritage and traditions. It represents a sense of continuity and connection to the past, as well as a commitment to the future of Presbyterianism.
