Have you ever imagined a Christian community where:
...There is no grand church
...There is no pastor preaching,
...There are no mandatory services every Sunday,
...yet still live fully in faith and the spirit of service?
That is precisely Bargn Nuri – one of Vcil Community's partner communities in South Korea – a place we have visited, learned from, and connected with many times.
Bargn Nuri began with the wondering: How can Christianity practically address ethical issues of our time in Korean society? How can biblical principles of justice be applied to humanizing society?
They realized that problems like individualism, environmental pollution, urbanization, and capitalism not only relate to many current social issues but fundamentally contradict Christian values. To realize Christian values in practice, they decided to live together and pursue a different way of living.
Bargn Nuri was initiated in 1991 by university students seeking a deep commitment to Christian values based on the biblical vision of the "Kingdom of God." From 2000, they relocated to the suburbs of Seoul where they began building a lifestyle centered on worship, service, and growing together in faith. In 2010, hoping to restore harmony with rural areas and develop sustainable natural agriculture, they established a new village in Hongcheon (northeast Korea).
Here, they live together, farm together, study together, and pray together – building a community where every member is cared for, connected, and grows in love. They call this "God's kingdom on earth" – not a distant paradise, but a reality that can be created through everyday living.
To understand this extraordinary journey better – how Bargn Nuri operates, the challenges they face, and the inspiration they create – Nếp Mới #5 will be a precious opportunity to listen to and dialogue directly with members of the Bargn Nuri community.
A meeting not only to understand Bargn Nuri – but also to reflect on ourselves:
Is our faith alive... or merely ritual?
Do we dare to live a different communal life – in the heart of today's rapidly changing world?
A monthly learning space to co-create a new civilization
Vcil Community aspires to build a new civilization centered on wellbeing and regeneration. To realize this vision, we encourage rethinking how we live, act, and imagine the future.
Drawing inspiration from the word "Nếp" in Vietnamese – which embodies the inherent patterns of culture, habits, and daily living – Vcil Community initiates Nếp Mới to create a nurturing space for new ways of living: prioritizing sustainable happiness and regenerating true wealth. This is a community space that helps everyone recognize and shed outdated patterns, absorb collective wisdom, and reimagine how we live, connect, and learn.
Each month, we will explore different topics – from Right Livelihood and cooperative models in Vietnam, to alternative economic and education models... Each month, Nếp Mới invites scholars, experts, and experienced practitioners to share on essential topics relevant to our lives. Participants will have opportunities to dialogue with them to deepen their understanding, find solutions to personal or collective issues, or begin meaningful work. More than just conversation, Nếp Mới is a space that nurtures reflection, promotes collaboration, and provides practical tools for our whole community to move toward a regenerative and flourishing future.
Nếp Mới is a monthly activity exclusively for Vcil Community members – to learn, grow, transform, and commit together. This is not merely a place to receive knowledge, but a space that cultivates "new patterns": new perspectives, new feelings, and new actions, to collectively create a world we long to belong to.
