As well as paying central diocesan expenses such as the running of diocesan offices, these diocesan funds also provide clergy pay and housing expenses (which total around £260 million per year across all dioceses), meaning that clergy living conditions no longer depend on parish-specific fundraising.
同样支付比如总主教区各部门运转开支，这些主教区基金同样提供神职人员的工资和住房开销（所有主教区每年的开支约为2.6亿英镑），意味着神职人员的生活条件不再取决于各分教区的资金提供。
