After stepping down as New Jersey?s governor and admitting he committed adultery by carrying out a homosexual relationship, Jim McGreevey stunned the nation again Wednesday with his new career path. McGreevey joined the Episcopal Church three days prior to his decision to apply for priesthood. The Episcopalian religion recognizes same-sex couples and McGreevey has openly admitted he would like to wed his partner. Dina Matos McGreevey was in a Bridgewater Borders Wednesday to promote her book "Silent Partner: A Memoir of My Marriage," just two days after her first public interview on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." The timing of McGreevey's decision to seek the Episcopal ministry has many questioning his motives. In a written statement to WABC-TV Dina said, "It's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. He needs to be in the spotlight. I was shocked by his arrogance."
