The leadership of Texas Baptist Women in Ministry is saddened to hear of the decision of Hardin-Simmons University’s President and Board of Trustees to close Logsdon Seminary. We are praying for the students, faculty, staff, administration, and friends of Logsdon impacted by this decision.
Logsdon Seminary has been a bright light in Texas Baptist life. Texas Baptist Women in Ministry exists in large part because of the prayerful collaboration of many associated with Logsdon. Logsdon Seminary’s Christ-centered theological education guided by the authority of Scripture, focus on the global mission of the church, and commitment to diversity has provided its students an educational experience that prepares them for ministry in the twenty-first century. The loss of Logsdon will be felt across Texas Baptist life and beyond.
We greatly appreciate Logsdon’s deep commitment to the calling of God on women and men in all aspects of the church, academia, and institutional leadership. We are grateful for the innumerable contributions of Hardin-Simmons and Logsdon students, alumni, and faculty to the Kingdom of God and Texas Baptist Women in Ministry. We will cherish those contributions and look forward to many more years of fruitful partnership with HSU and with the Logsdon network in whatever form it exists in the future.
