Excerpt from A Priest Forever Many people have been helpful in the publication of this book. My Union Theological Seminary colleagues who stood stead ily with me in the aftermath of the Philadelphia ordinations were significant to the book's development - especially my students in Feminism and Vocation and Women in Ministry; as well as Jean Gilbert, Susan Savell, Georgia Wilcoxson, Norma Barsness, Jim Bergland, Sally Bentley, Tom F. Driver, Linda Clark, Beverly Harrison, Sidney Skirvin, Lee Hancock, Jean Lambert, Connie Baugh, Barbara Wheeler, and Tony Ruger. I think also of Thelma Pyle, who answered the phone so that I could write; of Bob Svenson, Arthur Tingue, and Virginia Wink, who have helped me begin to claim the honesty, humor, and cour age to live (and tell) my own story, and of Robert Dewitt, who has shown me what authority is.

"Written for a different age than our own but wrestling with perennial issues clergy and seminarians face, Bishop Walter Klein's Clothed with Salvation: A Book of Counsel for Seminarians is a welcome contribution to providing this much-needed training. Klein was the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana from 1963 to 1971. Perhaps more pertinent to his qualifications to write Clothed with Salvation, first published in 1953, was his experience in seminaries and divinity schools, first as a student and then as a professor. He served as a lecturer at the Philadelphia Divinity School and, in 1938, became chairman of the graduate department of the Philadelphia Divinity School. Klein was also a professor of Old Testament Literature and Languages at Seabury-Western Theological Seminary and served as the seminary's assistant dean between 1952 and 1959. In 1959, he was elected Dean of Nashotah House, where he served until his death in 1963."-From the Foreword
