To give an example how this shakes out, within hours of an arrest – and release the same day – in Uganda of an employee of a US-funded clinic for alleged “unethical research” and “recruiting homosexuals,” the State Department released a statement.

Now, the adjective “Anglican” makes sense from a religious point of view only if one allows it to modify a noun, such as “Communion.” As many from both sides will explain to you at the drop of a name, it makes no sense to call yourself “Anglican” if you are not part of the “Anglican Communion.” (There are other nouns it can modify, but for those who are in it they do not reach the same level as “Communion”.)

Here’s the standard scenario. Susan gives birth –a happy occasion. An official will ask her: “Are your married? Who is the father?” If the first answer is No, the second question is important to government. Bill’s full name and address will be taken down, because he will be assessed for child support.
