The use of the word church ( Kirk) from Kuriakon is an English thing not a theology issue. French use word ‘eglise’ straight from Ekklesia. We describe the church as ecclesiastic. And thankfully we have Eccles cakes. Blame the Anglo- Saxons for that. Priest is Anglo Saxon corruption of Presbyter (elder) bishop corruption episcopus ( overseer) etc. language not theology.
