[The Living Church] 8 May 2007--Former New Jersey Gov. James E. McGreevey has been accepted into the three-year M. Div. program at the General Theological Seminary, but in a statement the Diocese of New York reported having “no direct knowledge of him or his interests.”
Mr. McGreevey was officially received as a communicant into The Episcopal Church from the Roman Catholic Church April 29 at St. Bartholomew’s Church in Manhattan. In August 2004 he resigned as governor after he announced he was gay and had engaged in a sexual affair with a male member of his staff whom he hired. The staff member denied the affair. His wife has filed for divorce.
A spokesperson for the seminary stated that Mr. McGreevey had met all the requirement for admission and that his application for the term beginning in September 2007 had been accepted. Acceptance into a seminary program does not guarantee ordination to the priesthood in The Episcopal Church, however.
