This was nicely answered by Brian T. Tickler the other week:
B>The standard contribution for Resurrection or a "major" healing B>of any kind is 50% of the recipient's current wealth, and a 10% B>tithe on all wealth gained during the next year. This method B>attempts to avoid discrimination. If the recipient has nothing, B>they may perform some kind of task the temple needs done, or, B>they may join Chalana Arroy (!). B>A "minor" healing (treat poison/disease, a Healing 6, etc.) usually B>is payed for by some minor magic item if available or a suitableB>monetary donation. For normal, non-adventuring types, sweeping B>out the temple may suffice... :)
B>The goal here is for each individual to contribute something that B>has real worth to them, relative to their social/economic status.
As far as I know a CA priestess would never refuse to heal/resurrect anybody on monetary grounds. Other things has to be the reason for such (non)action.
