Resourcing the Mission and Ministry of the Church of
England
More than £1.2bn is raised for mission and ministry across
the Church of
England's parishes, dioceses and national
institutions each year. The Church Commissioners contribute
over £40m each year towards parish and diocesan mission and
ministry, as well as providing funding for bishops, cathedrals and
clergy pensions. The Commissioners also seek to share research and
other resources to facilitate learning across the church.
