A question originally for Dr. Bear

I am investigating several doctoral options at present (to include Baptist Bible Seminary, Luther Rice Seminary) -- both accredited and non-accredited.

In that regard I have been looking at Columbia Evangelical Seminary and have been fairly impressed with what I have been seeing. But, I'm just beginning my investigation. To that end, I wrote the following email (but it bounced back) . . . so thought I'd post it and see the response I got from you folk. Please take the remark about "doctoral students with too much time, etc." as tongue firmly in cheek.

Dear Dr. Bear,

I am an admirer of your work and a frequent visitor to both the Degree.net site as well as the forums (where it is evident that some doctoral students have way too much time on their hands . . . ha!).

You are a busy man so I will not take up your valuable time. I've read your recommendation of Dr. Walston's Columbia Evangelical Seminary (on their web site). I am seriously considering earning a doctoral degree through CES. As a doctoral degree would be for expanded knowledge and ministry (and to achieve a personal goal), and not for teaching, an unaccredited degree is appropriate for me. However, I want to work with a credible unaccredited program. In your opinion, does CES fit this bill?

Thank you for your time.
