Newark, NJ.
James McGreevey, our former governor who declared himself a "gay American" and resigned, went on to study at the General Theological Seminary, where he earned a masters degree in Divinity.
According to the NY Post, the Episcopal Church denied McGreevey's bid to become a priest.
"It was not being gay but for being a jackass - [McGreevey] didn't come out of the whole divorce looking good," said a source with the Episcopal Church of Newark.
Another source said "he was sort of looking for every angle to make a complete redo of his professional life. He ran to the church for some kind of cover, which isn't fully appropriate. Even if he's a good guy, he should wait five to 10 years to get over his issues."
It looks as though we will have to wait at least a few years for Father Jim.
