I supervised Frank Logue when he was a seminarian at VTS. Have heard him preach and seen his work. Met him after a mission trip he took to Tanzania, and he helped us create a companion relationship with a small church in Kumwambu. At the time he was involved with not only my church plant but another church … both with solid orthodox roots. He was creative, energetic, willing to be taught, willing to take the lead. His willingness to go into his own diocese and start a church from scratch should carry some weight too. It is hard to start a church and be successful at it without wanting to share a love of Jesus with others (I’ve watched numerous church plants fail in Virginia because they were started by people with no evangelical interests). He helped me with an early Alpha program, was good at running small groups, had a good sense of humor.
I am not aware of his theological positions on sexuality and the church. I have been receiving his newsletters for years and the issue is not one discussed in print at great length … common enough in church planting when you are trying your hardest to do a lot of other things at the same time.
On the whole I believe Frank should get a fair hearing. He’s done many things well and certainly has the creativity, passion and intelligence to be a good leader. But as I say, I am not aware of his positions on the issues of our day. Only know he was willing to work with me, and my positions were very well known at the time (and still are).
I believe he is involved in the Labyrinth Project which appears on the diocesan web site and is considered to be of spiritual value. If you have not done so, you may want to google this project.
Pat Gahan was supportive of the Dio. of W. Tx resolution (which was tabled) similar to the recent ACI statement on affirming Diocesan Integrity against TEC imperialism. Georgia could do a lot worse than electing him.
