From the Daily Mail: Vice President JD Vance has revealed a deeply personal faith divide with his wife Usha and his tender plea for her to convert to Christianity.
The second lady is Hindu and did not grow up in a religious household, according to her husband. Vance, on the other hand, is a devout Catholic who plans to raise his three children in a Christian household.
‘Now, most Sundays Usha will come with me to church,’ Vance told a MAGA audience at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi on Wednesday.
‘Yes, my wife did not grow up Christian. I think it’s fair to say that she grew up in a Hindu family but not a particularly religious family in either direction,’ he said.
The vice president then revealed he has told Usha that he would like her to ‘believe in the Christian Gospel.’ It is the first time Vance has publicly revealed that he wishes for Usha to convert to Christianity.
Vance made the comments after a student asked him how he could promote Christianity so much when his own wife was a Hindu. The student asked how the couple were raising their children, since they each held different spiritual beliefs.
Vance explained that at the time he first met Usha, when they were both attending Yale Law School, they each considered themselves as agnostic atheists. However, he converted to Catholicism in 2019, and is now a devout Christian. He said they agreed that they would raise their children as Christian.
“Our two oldest kids … go to a Christian school. Our 8-year-old did his first Communion about a year ago. That’s the way that we have come to our arrangement,” Vance explained, adding, “Usha’s closer to the priest who baptized me than maybe I am. They talk about this stuff. My attitude is, you figure this stuff out as a family, and you trust in God to have a plan.”
“Do I hope eventually she is moved by the same thing I was moved by? Yes. I honestly do wish that. I believe in the Christian gospel, and I hope eventually, my wife comes to see it the same way,” Vance said.
They were married in 2014 in dual Christian and Hindu ceremonies, the report explains.
