Vance’s upcoming memoir cover features unfortunate slip-up

  • Vice President JD Vance's upcoming memoir, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, features a non-Catholic church on its cover despite Vance being a staunch Catholic.
  • The book, set for release on June 16, displays an image of Mount Zion Church in Elk Creek, Virginia, which is identified as a United Methodist house of worship.
  • National political reporter Joe Perticone of The Bulwark pointed out the discrepancy, noting that the church is a popular stock image.
  • Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, describes the book as an intimate account of his journey back to faith after having "strayed from the path."
  • This new memoir follows his 2016 book, Hillbilly Elegy, which significantly raised his public profile and contributed to his political career.
