I mean seriously? Who would spend a gazillion dollars, fiddle away years of their youth, endure unbelievable pressure, probably sprout a few grey hairs in the process… all for a PhD. Especially when you can get one of those hummers for free from Cambridge?
Well, it’s not exactly that Cambridge. I’m talking Cambridge Theological Seminar, Int. in the great state of Ohio. They boast 21k ministers from 131 nations, 19k churches worldwide, nearly 5k Bible chaplains, and over a thousand licensed Christian counselors.
Woah.
You don’t have to take any classes, no writing papers, just get your “statement of faith” approved and you’re good to go. Well, there’s a little more to it. You must sign a :
- Statement of faith
- Statement of calling
- Statement of new birth
- Statement of authenticity
- Statement of world evangelism
- Statement of dedication to christ! (sic)
- Statement of absolute belief in scripture
- Statement of no same sex marriage/homosexuality
Well, I guess I can understand why my fellow Skeptic Inkers wouldn’t go for this “school” considering they enjoy things like evidence, skepticism, truth, discussion, questions… crazy stuff like that. It’s quite the amusing website, though. Very colorful, too.
