However, a Norwegian who had settled in Swansea, Eric Benneche, wrote to the Bishop of Bergen offering to run the church from the expatriate community's own resources.
Permission was granted and the Bishop visited the church in person to present them with the key.
Benneche was also allowed to officiate as a lay pastor at services, christenings, weddings and funerals.
In 2004 the building was dismantled and reassembled next to Swansea's Prince of Wales dock where it later reopened as a jewellery gallery,[3] and later as a nursery.
