"The pastor at the Presbyterian USA church of which my wife and I are members has already started inserting the Father-Mother thing."
Are you and the wife going to remain members of that Presbyterian USA church? If so, do you want that pastor to remain? By the way, is that pastor male or female? If the church doesn't want that pastor, can the church ask him/her to leave?

It's the PC USA that is going down the tubes, not just our church. We will need to leave not only this church, but the USA branch of Presbyterianism.
On a more positive note, there is a women's Bible Study my wife attends on Tuesdays. The woman who teaches it (not from our church) is very good, and her teachings always assume the inerrancy of the scriptures. So, at least some good things do happen in the building.
