The acting Bishop of Birmingham, the Right Reverend Anne Hollinghurst, said the church was "profoundly saddened" by Ms Greenham's undermining of the trust placed in her.The church only learned of Jenkins' abuse after the couple's marriage broke down in 2019 when she discovered her husband's significant debts.
Jenkins himself had written to the Bishop of Hereford in 2007 and admitted an "inappropriate physical relationship" with a 16-year-old girl and agreed to stop any connection with youth work in Leominster Priory and Bridgnorth. This meant the Bishop of Hereford went on to mislead the Bishop of Birmingham over the true extent of Jenkins' abuse, it added.Peter Jenkins was jailed for 13 years after admitting a string of sexual offences against children

The offences predate the pair's association with St Helen's and there is no evidence of any criminal behaviour connected to the church.
