Unless the 5th printing has changed this (I have the 4th) it is. Divine Bond (Sp) on page 63. Thus it is a spell-like ability (page 554 identifies Sp as Spell-Like Abilities). - Gauss
The problem is that Divine Bond does not have an equivalent spell level assigned to it as it does not represent a spell. You have to define it as a spell in order to set the requirements for taking the Quicken feat for it. I'm pretty sure that (Sp) stands for Special, not spell like ability.

Yes it does. The FAQ covered this. Any spell-like ability counts as the highest spell level you possessed when you attained it. In this case that spell level is 1.
Cleric domains, sorcerer bloodlines, wizard schools, and certain other class features give spell-like abilities that aren't based on spells. What's the effective spell level for these abilities?
The effective spell level for these spell-like abilities is equal to the highest-level spell that a character of that class could normally cast at the level the ability is gained.
For example, a 1st-level elemental bloodline sorcerer has elemental ray as a spell-like ability. Because a sorcerer 1's highest-level spell available is 1st, that spell-like ability counts as a 1st-level spell. A 9th-level elemental bloodline sorcerer has elemental blast as a spell-like ability. Because a sorcerer 9's highest-level spell available is 4th, that spell-like ability counts as a 4th-level spell.

I already pointed out the relevant pages regarding the book's treatment of (Sp). It most certainly is NOT 'special'.

If they start doing that to their abbreviations, the entire system falls apart. (Sp) has an official and standard meaning for a reason - don't start pulling out the foundations of things, it will lead to nothing good.
