MDiv 1981
Barnes (MDiv 1981), who retired in January 2023 as the Seminary’s seventh president, received the Distinguished Alumnus Award at the alumni awards luncheon during Reunion 2024.
The award is in recognition of the work he has done in the world and at Princeton Seminary in the 43 years since he graduated. For Barnes, it’s a personal celebration of the gifts Princeton Seminary gave him.
He would go on to earn a PhD at the University of Chicago Divinity School but carried with him the gifts Princeton Seminary bestowed.
“Princeton gave me the community that helped me understand that I had gifts and that I was I called to be a pastor. That was a wonderful way to spend my life. That’s what Princeton has always been about, to me. That’s what they taught me how to do. So, I tried to serve with that same vision I learned from it.”
