Father Jim St. George, the Chestnut Hill College adjunct professor who was fired in February for being gay, has moved to the Ivy League.

St. George is co-teaching a course on religion, social justice and urban development at the University of Pennsylvania with Penn urban-studies professor Andrew Lamas, who offered the position to St. George after hearing of his travails.

"It feels good to be teaching again," said St. George, pastor of St. Miriam Old Catholic Church in Blue Bell. "The students are great, and I am thrilled at the chance to delve into subjects I care deeply about. I'm grateful."
