I believe the answer is:

balance

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
