Saturday, June 14, 1980 Lutheran-Catholic ecumenical dialogues draw praise By ROBERT DI VEROLl TRIBUNE R!htlon Wriler

In it, say,s Huber, the reformers says they wish to '"restore unity' to the church by discussing the issues 'amicably and charitably' so that 'our differences may be reconciled and we may be united in one true religion, even as we are all under Christ.'" Music for tomorrow's program will be provided by the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church choir and the St. Andrew's Lutheran Church of La Mesa folk singers. The program is sponsored by the San Diego Lutheran/Catholic Dialogue Committee, USD, and the Aid Association for Lutherans.

man adds that in the Augsburg Confession the 16th century_ reformers sincerely tried to state their under- standing of fundamental Catholic doctrines. "However, the proposals of the Augsburg Confession were rejected by the church because they did not remain within the bounds of doctrinal reform," Portman adds. But the Rev. John G. Huber of Universtty Lutheran Church, also writing in the EC publication, says the distance between Augsburg and Rome can be bridged by focusing on the confession's "ecumenical intent and catholic content."

Since the 1960s ecumt>m:,m has scored major gains in a senes or dialogues on basic doctrinal questions bt>tween Roman Catholic and Prolt>stant theologians. Th mo~t sign r1cant progres has been made in the Lutheran Catholic talks. !though the findings or thP participating theologians are not binding on therr re$pect1ve communions, the Lutheran-Catholic dialogues have been hailed as a model for th promotion of interfaith unity. In mort' than a decad or conversations, the partici- pant have reached a remarkable degree or convergence on uch things as the Nicene Creed as the basts of their faith, the acceptance of baptism a:; a rite of initiation into the Christian community, and the nature of the church and ministry. They have agre d that in the Eucharist Jesus Christ is m some my&tenous way tnily present. They ha,e agreed that all ,. 1 istians are m a sense ministers of the gospel while res mg a special form of m istry for the ordamtd clPrgy They have reached agreement on papal primacy, with Lufherans embracing the idea of the pope as natural leader of a united Chnstrnnitv But the the problem of au·thority - in articular the Catholic doctrine or papal mfallibility- remains howev- er. nous difference • till exist over the ordination of women clergy and such moral questions as abortion, birth control, divorc , euthanasia and homosexuality. A Lutheran and a Roman Catholic theologian will dial e on where theJr communions stand in the light of mor than a decade of d1aloguing at a program spon- son.. id by local Lutherans and Catholics at 7 p.m. tom rrow in Founders Chapel, University of San Diego. Th ~peakers will be the Rev. Dr. Carl E. Braaten of the Lt theran School of Theology in Chicago and the Rev. Carl J Peter, d an of the school of religious studies at the Cathohc Um ersity of AmPnca in Washington, D.C. The title of their pre ntat1on 1s "How Close Are Lutherans And Roman Catholics?" Th program will also commemorate the 450th anni- ver ary of lhP Augsburg Confession, Lutheranism's pnn 1pal doctrinal statement, promulgated June 25, 1530, at Augsburg, Gennany. In the document followers of ~Iartin Luther presented their doctnnal posit10ns and uggestions for reform of the church to Charle V Catholic king of Spain and emperor or the Holy Roman Empire Some Lutheran and Catholic groups have suggested the Vatican now recognize the Augsburg Confession as a valid expression of the Catholic faith. Braaten is former editor of "Dialog· A Journal of Theology ' and author of "The :futurist Option" and other books and articles. Peter was formerly president of the Catholic Theological Society of Amenca and a memlier of the Lutheran-Catholic Bilateral Ecumenical Consultation. The anniversary "reminds us that while great advanc- es have been made in recent years towards Christian unity, senous divisions still remain," says Monsignor John R. Portman, chairman of the San Diego Roman Catholic Diocese EcumPnical Commission. Writing m the current "Conference Call," publication of the San Diego County Ecumenical Conference, Port-

Match Against Borg Proves No-Win Situation For Vitas Rambling thoughts about tennis while waiting for Wimbledon. If your life was the stake, could you make a safer wager on a major sporting event than Bjorn Borg over Vitas Gerulaitis? With his routine dismissal of Gerulaitis (6-4, 6-1, 6-2) in the French Open final, Bjorn is now 17-0 against Vilas in tournament play. Borg is, of course, the No. 1 player in the world. He

seldom loses to anyone. Still, Geni- laitis is No. 5 worldwide, and it would seem a player of such skill could manage at least one victory in that many tries, even against the planet's best. · . Clearly, this rivalry has gone past the point where physical prowess is a factor and the mental game has become most significant. In the French final, Gerulaitis reportedly tried applying more spins, changing speeds and other tactics to try and shake the imper• turbable Swede.

Former USD Star Signs With A's After failing a tryout with the San Francisco Gi- ants last year, and spend ing the winter working in Phoenix, former University of San Diego catcher Jeff Tipton·s hopes for a major league baseball career were rekindled yesterday. He signed a contract with the Oakland A's and will report to th r rookie camp th s week ill Medford, Ore. ' In his final year at USD, Tipton became the only· player in the school's histo- ry to drive in more than 50 runs (51). He led the Toreros with six home runs and averaged .300. ,

"It was kind of working - in the beginning," Gerulaitis said. "I was moving him around a little, in the first set. He was really unsure of what was happening." But not to the extent that Borg lost so much as a set. Further, playing surface has seemed to make no differ- ence. They remain close friends. Not long ago Vilas orches- trated a bachelor party for Bjorn, who plans to marry Mariana Simionescue this summer. They will work out together m London next week, as they have in recent years, to prepare for Wimbledon. Gerulaitis has beaten Borg before. In a European exhibition match at which Bjorn arrived after an all-day flight from South America. It might take a similar circumstance if Vitas is to top him again .. . Vilas' Banner Year Interrupted Guillermo Vilas may have been playing his best tennis since his fabulous 1977 season before his appendicitis attack at Paris. The Argentine left-hander, who won the U.S. and French Opens in 1977, has instigated two major team victories for his country and has added the Italian Open to his list of career victories this year. With Guillermo as the catalyst, Argentina knocked off the defending champion U.S. in Davis Cup play earlier thi spring, and captured the Nation's Cup tournament at Dusseldorf, Germany. Vilas upset Borg in the Argentina versus Sweden semifinal of that event. After capturing the championship at Rome, Vilas has failed to win only one important championship - Wim- bledon. Considering his made-for-clay playing style, how- ever.that title could elude his grasp forever ... Format Change For Davis Cup? After 80 years in which it has undergone little change, there's a proposal to revamp the Davis Cup format. The Committee of Management of the International Tenms Federation has published a proposal for revamp- ing the competition in 1981 which would elimate the present zonal set-up in favor of a 16-team event in which matchups would not be based on geography. Advantages according to the committee would be that it would provide for a more interesting and fairer competi· tion. Specifically, the same countries wouldn't be banging heads year after year and the historically stronger sides wouldn't be meeting in an early round. An example: when Argentina beat the U.S., it was the third time in the last four years they had met in the American zone final. Other advantages: Davis Cup play would be over by early Autumn rather than December as is now the case, and there would be a maximum of four weeks or activity to which players would be committed. • • • NET PICKINGS -The San Diego State women's tennis team concluded its season with a 10th place finish at the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics For Women (AIAW) nationals. The Aztecs defeated Montana anp Penn State but lost to Rollins and Indiana. In the individual tournament following the team event, SDSU's Micki Schillig in singles and the doubles team of Kathy Snelson and Tracy Price lost in the first round while the duo of Schillig and Tammy Redondo was eliminated in the second round ... Three University of San Diego tennis players will be gaining experience in Europe this summer. Scott Lipton and the Todd Nelson, the Toreros' latest recruit, are playing to play in Holland while Peter Herrmann will be seeing similar action in Switzerland according to USD coach Ed Collins ... Several of San Diego's top young players will be engaged starting Monday in the Southern California Junior Championships at Fountain Valley. Champions of the Coronado Tennis Center Junior Tournament which concluded last weekend included Jon Canter, Alberto Ramos, Jim Myers and Kelly Askvig in the boys divisions (18, 16, 14, 12-and-under). Their counterparts in the girls divisions were Shelley Susman, Cari Hagey, Elizabeth Costa and Beth Costa ...

At LJ. D Advances -. (Continued from E-1) l.iSD's 20 to-1 student-faculty ratio stands out quh~ favorably, as does computer availability. "There are six , computer terminals on campus which our students have access to at many major institutions, students wait in line for n hour or more to get on a computer. It's not so here, a1cl O'Neil. Pro,essors from Indiana, Baylor and the University of San F anctsco were on campus for four days last fall mak111g the evaluation, he said. 'Undergraduate business school enrollment which has doubled to 858 in the last five years, is expected to grow to_ 1,100 _by 1985, when 25 percent of students on campus will be mthe B school. The graduate school enrollment now at 150, shoo hit 400 then, said O'Neil. Full-tim~ faculty, which has grown from nine seven years ago to 23, should be around 40 at the time. The USD B school, in common with other areas of the 1m1vers1ty, positions itself in the market as a "values- oriented'.' institution, where there is guidance in ethical and spmtual matters as well as basic subject matter. . In this sense, USD and other "values-oriented" institu- t10ns feel they can compete for students effectively with the larger, state-supported schools. The _lJSD B school also takes a generalist as opposed to a highly specialized approach: "Anyone' getting the general mana~ement de~ee in our MBA program should be competent m the var10us functional areas of business - accounting, finance, production, marketing and man- agement of human resources," said O'Neil. Students specialize in one of the areas however· fina~ce is now the most popular graduate school concen'. trat10n. At th~ undergraduate level, students concentrate in accounting, business administration, economics or busi- ness economics. Business administration is "by far" the most popular, he said. · \\'.ith accreditat!on, USD hopes to get more support from the local busmess community Among the goals is a new building. Already, the USO B school has received considerable support from local business: San Diego Trust and First Frderal Savmgs have helped build the library, now up to 15,0 0 volumes and 300 periodical subscriptions.
