I'm glad to read that you use wisdom when it comes to diciplining your child!!  Education is the key to productive/positive parenting.  I bet those people as well as the church minister are uneducated.  It is really sad, because if you do not know any more than what you have been taught, you will not change.
I have a cousin that just got her children taken away from her, as a result of using corporal punishment.  People are not playing about turning you in for child abuse!!  I feel bad for my cousin, but I believe if she would have used wisdom she would be in this predicument.  
Parenting is more than taking a belt to a child to correct his wayward self.  The most effective form of training is to lead by example.  So, many young people are having children and not equiped to properly care for them (spiritually, socially and financially)!!  It is sad, because children do no ask to be here.....I know all we can do is pray for the condition of this world and the state of minds.   May God Bless
