Education

Barbour has a Master of Sacred Theology (STM) from New York Theological Seminary, and a Doctorate in Sacred Theology (STD) from Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary [1]

Career

Barbour was one of six alumnae of the New College, Edinburgh, who wrote an open letter to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1967. Other proponents included Dr Elizabeth G.K. Hewat, Mary Levison (née Lusk), Mary Weir, Sheila Spence (née White) and Margaret Forrester. The group informed the Assembly that there was no valid theological reason to oppose admission of women, and held a press conference as they were prevented from lobbying directly. The decision to allow female ministry was made on the 22 May 1968. [2]

Barbour's ministry involves a great deal of intercultural and interreligious work.

Barbour retired from the Catholic Theological Union in 2016 after 40 years on the faculty. She remains Professor Emerita of World Mission, and continues to participate in CTU activities [3]
