Not sure if Benson's word was to support the teaching of "One New Man". My point is as many people living in the US who learned English as a second, third, or fourth languages, they will understand better if the service is spoken in their native tongue. One churches locally is Ukranian. That's not to say you're unwelcome if you visit, but the service deilvered is Ukranian. If you happen to speak Ukranian, you'll understand. Same applies if the congregations was in Spanish, Chinese, or Tagalog.
