America gets new church in time given (6)
I believe the answer is:
usance
'time given' is the definition.
(period of time in which a bill can be paid)
'america gets new church' is the wordplay.
'america' becomes 'usa' (synonyms).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'church' becomes 'ce' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'usa'+'n'+'ce'='USANCE'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for usance that I've seen before include "time to settle" , "Usage (archaic)" , "practice" , "interest in literature" , "old custom" .)
