Africans now denying people the right to determine their name?

Yes, you are exactly right. The Africans have decided that you are the ECUS. And forever it shall remain. Just because they SAID so. It wasn't a mistake on their part, they knew exactly what they were doing. This is way more important than an openly gay bishop. I'm glad you brought it up.

DOWN WITH AFRICAN IMPERIALISM!!!

There. I hope that makes you feel better.

Sorry, but I've put up with a lot of crap about work how we're not supposed to consider ourselves "American," but merely citizens of the United States. Here in DC, if you use the word, "American" to describe someone from the USA, you'll find yourself in hot water real fast. Even the Republican President of the United States of American won't use the word "America." (Notice, he's POTUS, not POTUSA.)

So, no, it's not on the same par as electing perverts to be bishops, but I am still very disturbed to find that even the Anglicans in Africa deny us the right to have our own nationality, if that's indeed what's going on here.

But if you're happy being denied the right to consider yourself an American, so be it. At least my Pope still calls us "America."
