From The BBC-Anglican Churches in Jersey have been told they must continue to pay their Parish Share to the Diocese of Winchester for the time being.
The money is raised by congregations to help fund the wider ministry of the church and to pay the clergy.
The Channel Islands split from Winchester in January after a dispute over how abuse complaints were handled.
However, the island's dean said church finances would remain with Winchester for at least the first quarter of 2014.
Canterbury oversight
The Church of England in the Channel Islands pays hundreds of thousands of pounds each year to Winchester, which is then used to pay clergy, training and other costs.
