Tom and Alison Kling are very clear about why they support the Graduate Theological Union: "The key New Testament commandment tells us to love your neighbor as yourself. Your neighbor has many beliefs, not all of which are the same as your own. The Graduate Theological Union fosters interchange with people from different faith traditions and develops tolerance without the surrender of one's own way of life. As Martin Luther King said, ‘We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.'"

The Klings are members of the Legacy Circle, which honors generous friends who have made provisions for the Graduate Theological Union through their estate plans. A gift of life insurance, bequest, or trust can help secure the future of the GTU. Such planned gifts of the past have supported students through scholarships, brought outstanding scholars to "Holy Hill," and improved facilities for work and study.

Enrollment is simple. Please take a moment to call or write us about your plans, so that we can thank you personally and add your name to this select group. You can reach Linda Frank at 510/649-2425 or lfrank@gtu.edu.
