Kirk [1]
a word meaning circle, in the sense of " assembly" or "company;" the original word being Saxon, and supposed by some to have come from the Greek κυριακόν , dominicum, " The Lord's house." The word Church is the same as " Kirk," and has the same signification as " congregation" or assembly, which are elsewhere given as translations of the original word ἐκκλησία. The established religion of Scotland (the Presbyterian) is usually called the Kirk of Scotland. (See Scotland).
