Governor Jim McGreevey is looking for a new career after resigning as the top dog in New Jersey almost three years ago. With a lifetime of politics under his belt, what could Jim possibly do? Well he could become a minister of course. McGreevey has been reported to enter the seminary this week to become an Episcopal priest.
From WNBC:
Friends of the former governor told NewsChannel 4 that McGreevey has wanted to enter the priesthood since his days in high school, college, and even law school. Now, the friends said, McGreevey has the freedom to do it.
The governor's friends added that once McGreevey finishes the four-year ordination process, he hopes to find a parish -- perhaps in an inner-city neighborhood, where he can help children or the poor.
McGreevey has commented that being a religious leader will not only allow him to help others, but will be good for his soul as well, friends of the former governor said.
McGreevey has already made a big change in his life, so perhaps this is a logical step for the disgraced politician to go from Catholicism to the Episcopalians. He has certainly gone through a lot in the last two years since revealing his big secret to press, the New Jersey state government and of course, his wife.
The McGreevey's were just in the news the other day when his ex-wife, Dina Matos claimed that she had no idea what his true sexual orientation was, even though he said she did. I thought this story was over in 2004, but it seems that the saga continues. Look out for Reverend McGreevey in a parish near you.
