Quinn will be installed tomorrow as bishop of a sprawling Oklahoma R an Catholic Diocese that's in the forefront of the ecumenical movement in a state that's about half Southern Baptist. Yet, it is a diocese in which Southern Baptists and Roman Catholics - usual- ly regarded as occupying opposite ends of the theological spectrum on most basic questions -- are makmg notice• able strides in learning how to talk lo one another. It is a situation for which Bishop Quinn's talents and temperament are aptly suited, according to a San Diego diocesan source long active in Okla- homa ecumenical affairs and a con• fidante of the bishop. " I expect fine things to happen in Ok· lahoma ," he says, "because Bishop Quinn is uncommonly well-informed theologically and represents the very best kind of ecumenical outreach in the Roman Catholic Church today.

COf C F.ir IPR Staff In Reassessment The Chamber of Commerce fired its public relations staff yesterday as part of what man- ager John Borchers termed a re-examination of its commu- nications department. It also suspended publication · of its monthly newsletter, San Diego Business. Borchers said Laurence W. Reher, communications depart- ment manager, and Marge Simonton, news information center coordinator, will leave their jobs before the end of this month. No firm termination date is set. "We are not certain that the chamber's role in the business and civic community is best served by the traditional public relations department structures of Chambers of Commerce," Borchers said in a statement. I ''However, it is early to pre- dict just how we shall reorga- nize al this time." he said. Later, he said the chamber will be conducting a study of its public relations role for about two months. "After that, I can't tell you what will happen." he said. "We might go for a stronge department. Our study might lead to the use of more outside professional talent with a coor· dination of communications within the chamber organiza- tion." He said that Reher and Mrs. Simonton were terminated "be- cause it was fell that al the mo- ment we wanted a complete look at the picture without ha v- ing our present organizational structure continued.·• I j~ · 1 :2._
