The church is our mother....now that ain't in my Bible. That needs some elaboration. I understand that the church is the body as Paul teaches in I & II Corinthians- one body, many parts. We need to be careful about saying things like it's our mother. I don't want to see it tied in with the Sophia worshippers or Gaia followers, in other words the mother/goddess crowd. Not saying that was what preacher man meant but I can't say AMEN to that.
I am pretty sure he meant it "figuratively"...Or at least that is the way I took it.
