Ecclesia Anglicana by virtue of its provenance is English in texture and fibre …

All too often the bishop has become a carbon copy of the English bishop whose office and style has been accommodated to the English culture, particularly the upper-class culture. A classic example is the African bishop being addressed as the Lord Bishop of Cape Coast or Tamale or Freetown. The title reflects an English culture and social structure which are irrelevant to the African situation … While African or Asian or Pacific Anglicans contribute to their own captivity to the Anglo-Saxon ecclesia Anglicana, the captivity is also imposed from outside.

… this Communion is still astonishingly English in complexion. Indeed it is probably in this respect the most monochrome of all world denominations … the Church of England on the whole goes its way without paying much attention to the opinion and reactions of the rest of the Anglican Communion, whereas the rest of the Anglican Communion on the whole tends to look to the Church of England for approbation before any important step is taken.
