Jim McGreevey studying to become priest

Ever wonder what happened to Jim "I am a gay American" McGreevey?

McGreevey famously outed himself in resigning as governor of New Jersey in 2004, amid revelations that he had an affair with a man on his staff.

He now is in a "healthy, happy relationship" with a different man now, studying to become an Episcopal priest and volunteering at Exodus Ministries at the Church of Living Hope in East Harlem, New York, "which tries to help newly-released prisoners learn life skills and handle the significant challenges that ex-convicts face," according to a story by David Shankbone, a New York photographer and writer who befriended McGreevey while they attended the same church.

Shankbone wrote that McGreevey also "was a source of hope and friendship" for Eliot Spitzer, who resigned as governor of New York last year in the wake of revelations that he patronized a high-priced prostitution ring, and has offered advice to South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, who recently admitted to leaving the country to visit his Argentinian mistress without telling his family or staff where he was going.
