sjømannskirken is inportant not only to Sydneysiders, but to those residing elsewhere in Australia, to Norwegian students, expats, tourists and Scandinavians in general.

This church must be retained...it is an icon and very important place of worship for Norwegians and Australians.

I have visited this lovely church several times for various events. I was always made welcome and 'at home' even though I have no Norwegian background. For me, it was a bit of authentic Norwegian culture. It will be sorely missed.

I grew up in Sydney, to Norwegian and Swedish parents and visited the "church" reguarly. Not only is it a place for the noggies to meet and eat porridge and seimenn, it is a place of learning. Here we had "Norwegian school" once a week, where kids in all ages learnt to read and write in norwegian. I would have never been able to move from Sydney to Oslo as a 17 year old and start videregående skole, without the help of the Norwegian seamans church in Balgowlah. Luckily, the skills i learnt in Sydney meant i could start at a propper norwegian school and not have to go over to the IB system.

my husband and I celebrated our wedding at the church. And now we take our two boys often. Please don't let them miss out on their Norwegian culture and heritage. I beg you to please not sell the church.

We are a multicultural nation, and all pieces of all cultures should be preserved for future generations whenever possible

i wouldn't want my Norwegian friends in Sydney loose their little bit of Norway - identity is so important when living abroad!
