The level of individual clergy stipends is a diocesan matter.
No one would disagree that the stipends of ministers of the churches involved are not excessive.
I do not think that it is possible to generalise about stipends or to say whether a particular man is eligible for supplementary benefit.
The sums expended will naturally result in sums being saved, because stipends will no longer be payable to those who have resigned.
According to my most recent calculations, stipends are in the region of £12,000 to £12,500 a year.
Stipends for bishops and the parochial clergy are based on the concept of adequacy in relation to duty.
They showed the costs of the schools which were mostly taken up by the costs of the teachers' stipends.
They are trying to make both ends meet on miserable stipends.
