Tom J. Logue, Ph.D., passed from this life March 6, 2010. A celebration of Tom's life will take place 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 9, at Second Baptist Church, 8th and Scott, in downtown Little Rock, Ark. A private burial service will be held at Forest Hills Memorial Park. The family will receive friends and visitors 5 to 7 p.m. Monday evening at Roller Chenal Funeral Home, 13801 Chenal Parkway, in Little Rock. Logue served with the 102nd General Hospital in Europe during WWII. He received his BA and MA from Baylor University, and his BD and Ph.D. from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He served as citywide Baptist Student Director for Memphis, Tenn., from 1951 to 1955 and as State Director of Baptist Student Union of Arkansas from 1955 to 1987. Logue served as founding coordinator of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Arkansas from 1991to 2005. Logue received the Brooks Hayes Memorial Christian Citizenship Award in 1990 for his selfless service as a devoted Christian leader in Arkansas. Tom's ministry to untold hundreds and thousands of Arkansas college students on campuses all over the state has been described as a worthy model for all believers. During Logue's tenure as Director of the Student Department of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, new Baptist Student Unions were established on more than a dozen college campuses, Baptist Student Centers were built on 12 campuses and two centers were enlarged. Logue's proudest moment however came when 400 students attending the annual Baptist Student Union Convention in Jonesboro during the Central High School racial crisis, passed, with only one dissenting vote, a resolution that said, "We believe that the Christian position in the matter of race relations includes the teaching and example of Jesus regarding the equal worth of all individualsÉand abstaining from and discouraging violence in the settlement of any differences." After retirement from student work, Logue was a frequent conference and retreat speaker and the author of a book on grief, God Could You Talk a Little Louder? The story traces his family's pilgrimage through the lingering illness and death of his eldest son, Tommy.
