British fellow gives church stability (7)
I believe the answer is:
balance
'stability' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'british fellow gives church' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'fellow gives' becomes 'alan' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'church' becomes 'CE' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'b'+'alan'+'ce'='BALANCE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for balance that I've seen before include "Rest" , "Cab lane (anag)" , "A steady position as on scales" , "the unstable may lose before fall" , "Equilibrium or steady position" .)
