About
This is my site and my name is Halldór Elías Guðmundsson. The site is a gathering place for all kinds of thoughts, often around religion, but not always. The thoughts appear both in English and/or Icelandic depending on my mood.
The oldest part of the site are blog posts and comments originally hosted at elli.annall.is, as a part of the annall.is community. The site also serves as a place for experimentation with web design and from a time to time a forum to present various things I make.
I have STM (Master of Sacred Theology) and MA-LM (Master of Arts in Lay Ministry) from Trinity Lutheran Seminary and BA from University in Iceland (About my studies in Icelandic).
In case you need me to do some consulting for churches or religious entities in Iceland, I have created a forum called www.vangaveltur.net as a platform for my freelance work.
It is possible to find writings by me on trú.is (articles, faq, and sermons). I wrote a bit on How the Church Responds, a blog used for reflection during a course at Trinity Lutheran Seminary called How the Church Responds to Disasters.
I am present on Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter.
