I meant I was thinking of Brown's graduate studies program, not necessarily an MDiv. Sorry for the confusion.
Like I said before, I am not set in stone on anything. Just free-writing/ thinking. Another possiblity is getting a graduate degree (like a masters in theology or bible studies or something) or a PhD from a graduate department of religious studies. What I really want to do *I think* is teach at a collegiate/ university level and not so much with the preaching. So maybe a graduate school instead of a seminary would be better?
I'm gonna back you up on these, because they are truly excellent. Please add to the list Alliance Theological Seminary - New York (http://www.alliance.edu). We have a relationship with Harvard and Yale, so many of our grads end up in one of the two for doctoral studies.
