Five years with no payout from the Humanitarian fund. I think that is probably a good indication of what happens to the Humanitarian funds in the U.S. as well.

"Charitable spending
Spending type item Value £ % of total spending
Income generation and governance 630,000 1
Charitable spending 48,234,000 99"


I am not sure does this mean they spend 48,234,000 to s charity?

The £48m is spent on the church not on another charity. Church expenditure is deemed, for these purposes, to be 'charitable'.

Re: Church UK Finances for 2017

looks like there is a 9 million pound deficit. Cost of operations is eating up profits. According to fair judgement then they are in no position to give to charity or help the poor. I'm surprised they even reported that million pounds to charity that they supposedly spent.

How could tithing income fall?

On page 28 of 122 pages - http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/Accounts/Ends51/0000242451_AC_20171231_E_C.pdf

In 2016 the tithing was 31,142,000 and then in 2017 it fell to 31,092,000. How could that be possible in the fastest growing religion ever?

Well I guess I better not think about that too much as my Correlation-trained brain is not trained to ask questions like that. What I've been trained to ask is "what can I do to be more obedient".
