validity of the Presbyterian statistics on this account.
Those making decisions for the Church of Scotland must be
content training its ministers in university, rather than
employing either the 'related' or independent college
settings. This signifies the church's approval of a
university philosophy and method of teaching.)
An interesting sidelight to the theology question
relates to the mention of divinity in response to the
survey's open questions. On three such data lines,
Evangelical lecturers rank high.
