NEWARK, N.J., April 25 (UPI) -- Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, who resigned after announcing he was gay, was denied his request to become an Episcopal priest, a church official said.
It wasn't McGreevey's sexual orientation that was a problem for the church, which has embraced gay parishioners and clergy, but the former governor's bitter divorce, a source with the Episcopal Diocese of Newark told the New York Post in an exclusive interview published Monday.
