Religious expression in the "80s, said Severson, is also different "Now there is growth and interest among para-church groups which are like Bible study groups," said Severson "To call them simply 'fundamentalist groups' is not fair.

According to Severson, there is also a renewed interest around the countrv in some of Ihe traditonai denominational churches.
Severson said that he is not happy with an anti-intellectual form'of Christianity. He admitted that most denominations have fought many of the "wrong bat« tli s ' but he affirmed that some of the needed changes are taking
place and that women are taking an active role in accomplishing this
"The church has disenfranchised women for centuries, and it still does." he said Women are writing about their experiences By and large, men have been the ones who have written the books, established the policies Now something new is going on "
As for trends among the student population. Severson said that the highly competitive job market l as made students very job-oriented “A lot of people want to have a reverend among th.ir referent. They think it really help I don't
