Mark O. Hatfield, 47, U.S. Senator from Oregon, is one of evangelicalism's most outspoken activists. Republican Hatfield was dean of students at Willamette University when he decided to make his Baptist faith more pertinent to his life. Now he spends much of his free time writing and speaking on the importance of belief. Hatfield denies that evangelicalism can be isolated from social commitment. "You can't see merely the soul of man. There is also the hunger of man, the sickness of man, the indecent, obscene poverty of man."
