"This probably explains why White is so confused."

Please explain how a Christian Seminary or any religious seminary can be accredited by the state? In order for that to happen the state would have to pass on the theology, bible courses and faculty as well as the admission policy of the seminary and that would violate the First Amendment.

Accreditation would also mean that the seminary has submitted to the authority of the state. That is why the State of Washington has an exemption for seminaries. Lack of state accreditation is meaningless as it applies to seminaries. Look at the faculty on the web site. They are more than qualified to teach and mentor grafuate students.

Not by the state:

There are 52 recognized national accrediting bodies. The national accreditors include a variety of religious, professional, and vocational accreditors, and get their name from their common policy of accrediting schools nationwide or even worldwide. Requirements for accreditation vary from each national accreditor according to the speciality.

In general terms, the national accreditators may be divided into those that accredit academic programs leading to a degree, those that accredit vocational programs leading to preparation for a career, and those that offer specialized and professional accreditation as an add-on to other accreditation.
