114. All mainline clergy, in order to be ordained, must have MDivs,
having studied under PhDs and ThDs, at schools accredited by the Association of Theological Seminaries. More than half of the faculty of my seminary had PhDs from Harvard. There were a couple of Princeton grads on faculty, but they were always reminded that they were not the Harvard, Yale or Oxbridge grads amongst whom they worked.

Princeton Seminary isn't all that special. It has no affiliation with Princeton University, and is just one more denominational seminary. A pretty good one, but not the best.

And again, you aren't smart enough to know the difference between a DD and a PhD, and the differences are pretty important. I'm not convinced YOU passed the courses you took....or claim to have taken.
