The National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Vietnam is the body responsible for administrating the Bahá’í community of Vietnam.
History[edit]
The National Spiritual Assembly of Vietnam was established in 1964 and incorporated with the government on October 8 the same year.[1] As of 1972 the Vietnam War had caused instability in the country and the Assembly reported that it had lost contact with a number of localities, including those in the regions of Binh Long, Binh Dinh, Kontum, Pleiku, Quang Tri, Thua Thien and Chuong Thien.[2] In 1975 a National Convention could not be held with the election of the National Assembly taking place by mail instead.
In 1977 the National Spiritual Assembly of Vietnam was able to assume responsibility for the Bahá’ís of a unified Vietnam, however the following year open practice of the Bahá’í Faith was prohibited by the Communist government along with several other religions resulting in the disbandment of the National Assembly, with two of its members being sent to re-education camps.
On March 21, 2007, The Baha'i community was able to become officially registered with the government of Vietnam, and in July the community received a certificate of operation from the governmental Committee for Religious Affairs. After a year-long probationary period the National Spiritual Assembly of Vietnam was reformed in 2008.[3] In 2014 the Assembly celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first National Spiritual Assembly election in 1964, as well as the sixtieth anniversary of the Bahá'í Faith in Vietnam.[4]
