The Mother of a church is the older wiser woman that every body respects. Usually she is old but sometimes she might be middle age but she is Wise and people respect her and consult her for advice, prayer etc. Sometimes she's the person who has been at the church the longest. It is a position that doesn't have to be appointed (although some ministers may say that so-and- so is the Mother of our church) A person usually "grows" into this position with time, Grace and Wisdom. You give her flowers on the special holidays like Mother's Day, Christmas, Easter, etc. She has a certain section to sit in so she doesn't have to wait to be seated. (a lot of times, they are in wheelchairs or on canes and walkers due to arthritis). I guess it would be equated with the respect that was to be given to the widows and ophans in the Bible. | ||||||
