| - Church of Sweden in New York (Swedish: Svenska kyrkan i New York; also known as the Swedish Seamen's Church) is a Church of Sweden church at 5 East 48th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It is a parish of the Church of Sweden Abroad. Dating to 1921, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. The church is currently open Wednesday to Sunday. As of 2022, Iits café is located in the church's basement while work is undertaken on the building's upper floors. A library and reading room (featuring a memorial plaque to Raoul Wallenberg) is located on the first floor, while the chapel, sacristy and children's room is on the second floor. The chapel's organ dates to 1986, the work of Torshälla's Walter Thür. The uppermost floors are private residences and a rooftop terrace. Its founding came after around 1.4 million Swedes arrived on American shores between 1820 and 1900. They found solace in these churches, where they could keep up with news from their homeland, collect and send mail and enjoy refreshments. In 1921, a year after a donation of around $250,000 from Henrietta E. Francis Talcott, the church was rebuilt in a Gothic style. The donor was the wife of farmer-turned-millionaire James Talcott, who died in 1916 at the age of 86. The new building was the work of architect Wilfred E. Anthony (1878–1948). Henrietta died in December 1921, aged 79; it is not known whether she got to see the finished building. On 31 March 1978, the Church of Sweden Abroad bought the property from the New York Bible Society for $570,000. The air rights were sold in 1981 for $1 million and paid off the debt. The song "Christmas in New York" was written by Billy Butt on the church's piano in 1979. (en)
- Svenska kyrkan i New York (engelska: Church of Sweden New York) är en av Svenska kyrkans utlandsförsamlingar. Den bildades första advent 1873, då Evangeliska Fosterlandsstiftelsen började hålla gudstjänster för sjömän, under ledning. Efter att ha bedrivit sin verksamhet från diverse platser i New York, förvärvade man år 1978 Talcott Building i Midtown. Fastigheten bebyggdes år 1921 av Mrs. Henrietta E. Francis Talcott, som en gåva till The New York Bible Society. Spåren av dess ursprungliga ändamål och verksamhet syns tydligt i byggnadens ornament, såväl ut- som invändigt. Efter att Svenska kyrkan förvärvade fastigheten 1978 anpassades dess lokaler för de nya ändamålen. Numera bedrivs caféverksamhet på entréplan, på källerplan finns ett större kök samt allrum och på andra våningen finns kapell, sakristia och sammanträdesrum. De övriga våningarna är avskilda för personalbostäder. I kapellet, som präglas av dess gotiska fönster och ljusa färger, finns en orgel importerad från Sverige, tillverkad av . Utöver andakter, gudstjänster och högmässor är kapellet mycket populärt för vigslar. Under 2013 genomgick byggnaden en omfattande utvändig renovering. (sv)
