In Christianity, a mother church is the church "considered as a mother in its functions of nourishing and protecting the believer". The term has specific meanings within different Christian denominations.
A mother church also includes a parish church "which has responsibility for or oversight of another (as a chapel of ease, chantry, etc.)"; "The principal church of a country, region, or city; a cathedral or a metropolitan church"; "The original church of a particular Christian movement, serving as an organizational or spiritual centre; esp. the First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, Massachusetts, that of the Christian Scientists"; and "The church (i.e. organized body of Christians) of which another church or denomination is an offshoot; (also) the oldest or original church from which all others have sprung".
This term is most often used among Roman Catholics as the Holy Mother Church or Sancta Mater Ecclesia (Lat.). Another term often used in Catechism in many pious Catholic countries is the title "Mater et Magistra" (Mother and Teacher), referencing its matrimonial espousement to Jesus Christ. It is used as "Designating the whole Christian Church or all Christians collectively."

[Ahnsahnghong, God the Mother, heavenly Mother, church of God] What is the identity of the prostitute sitting on a scarlet beast, and the number 666? The prostitute in the Bible is the Antichrist church that does not follow Christ! The Bible prophesied that the Antichrist church would arise from Rome, oppress the saints of God, change the law of God, and rule over the kings of the world. Then Babylon the Great, the Antichrist church, is the Roman Catholic Church who is the mother church of the Protestant churches!!!
[World Mission Society Church of God]In the last days, we must receive the water of life from the Holy Spirit and the Bride. The Holy Spirit is the Second Coming Christ in the flesh, who is God the Father. Then who is the Bride? She is God the Mother who has come in the flesh. Some people say that the Bride, God the Mother, is Mary. However, Mary cannot be God the Mother. It is because the Bride is the Wife of Jesus the Lamb.

http://HomecomingHeroes.com - Daily Surprise Military Homecoming Videos and Pictures! "This video is of my wife and our middle son who is presently at camp Lejeune for infantry training. She wasn't expecting to see him until Christmas time, and this would have been our first year without having all our boys for Thanksgiving. She had been taking it hard for a few days, crying off and on about not having him home, and wondering if he was going to have any kind of a Thanksgiving dinner. Every year we have a big get together with Tammy's side of the family in the fellowship hall at one of our local churches. Everyone except for my wife knew my son was coming in.

Thomas Richner performs Charles Callahan's Aria. Listen to those distinctive Skinner strings kick in at about 1:04. There's no other sound quite like it. The 1952 Aeolian-Skinner, at the time of this recording (late 1980's), had 237 ranks & 13,595 pipes. In the late 90's, a controversial "renovation" removed 35 ranks of principals, mixtures & reeds & added (shudder)2 electronic voices (32' Contre Bourdon & Untersatz).
