Haden was born in Fort Worth, Texas on May 30, 1910 to Clarence Rupert Haden Sr. and Margaret Collins. He was educated at the public schools in Fort Worth, and then attended Baylor University from where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in 1931. He also studied at the Union Theological Seminary between 1932 and 1934, and then at the Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, graduating with a Bachelor of Sacred Theology in 1936, and awarded a Doctor of Divinity in 1952. [2]

Haden was ordained deacon in April 1936 and priest in November 1936 by Bishop Harry Tunis Moore of Dallas. He married Essie Lucilla Jones on February 1, 1935 and together had one daughter. [3] He was in charge of St Barnabas' Church in Denton, Texas and St Paul's Church in Gainesville, Texas from 1936 until 1937. He then became rector of St John's Church in Corsicana, Texas, while in 1941 he became rector of St Matthew's Church in Houma, Louisiana. In 1943, he accepted the rectorship of St Paul's Church in New Orleans, and in 1945 he became rector of St Philip's Church in Durham, North Carolina. Between 1951 ans 1953 he served as executive director of the Presiding Bishop's commission on laymen's work. He then served previously as dean of Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral (Kansas City, Missouri) between 1953 and 1957. [4]

In 1957 Haden was elected Coadjutor Bishop of Sacramento, and was thus consecrated on June 14, 1957 by Presiding Bishop Henry Knox Sherrill in Trinity Cathedral.
