Internationalization of the Church of the Nazarene

Charles R Gailey wrote in a speech presented to ANSR:

“We feel it is imperative that we state again that the final goal of internationalization shall be to involve all world areas of the Church of the Nazarene in the total program of the denomination with rights, privileges, and responsibilities without limitation or stigma because of culture, color, or geographic location.”

 

He went on to say in the conclusion: “The other key element in what it means to be an “international church” is the distinctive message that binds us together.”

Do you think it is possible to achieve Internationalization (or Regionalization) and keep these admirable standards intact?
