Quote from a theologian attached to university church (6)
I believe the answer is:
adduce
'quote' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a theologian attached to university church' is the wordplay.
'theologian' becomes 'dd' (Doctor of Divinity degree).
'attached to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'university' becomes 'u'.
'church' becomes 'ce' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'a'+'dd'+'u'+'ce'='ADDUCE'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for adduce that I've seen before include "Quote in evidence" , "Cite as example or proof" , "Allege" , "Agreement, harmony" , "Cite as evidence" .)
