Believers generous  but could do more

Christians who regularly attend church give more than twice as much as those who do not, according to a new study – but they have the potential to give more.

Stewardship commissioned research into financial giving among UK Christians (4,056 Christian adults were surveyed). The inaugural Stewardship Generosity Report states that ‘unlocking the latent giving potential among practising Christians would release an average £2,784 per person each year’ for charity’.

This, says Stewardship, would amount to more than 3.5 times the current level. It also found monthly average giving from practising UK Christians is 3.2% of income after tax (equating to £73 a month or £876 a year). Respondents give an average of £53.38 a month to church.
