This site is a gathering place for my thoughts, in English and\/or Icelandic, often around religion.<\/p>\n

The writings on this blog do not necessarily represent those of my current or former\u00a0employers, and contain most\u00a0certainly both\u00a0errors and failed judgment calls from time to time. I apologize for that beforehand.<\/p>\n

The oldest part of the site are blog posts and comments originally hosted at elli.annall.is, as a part of the annall.is<\/a> community.\u00a0The site also serves as a place for experimentation with web design and from a time to time a forum to present various things I am working on.<\/p>\n

I have STM (Master of Sacred Theology) and \u00a0MA-LM (Master of Arts in Lay Ministry) from Trinity Lutheran Seminary and BA from University in Iceland (About my\u00a0studies in Icelandic<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In case you need me to do some consulting or teaching for churches or religious entities, I have created a forum called iSpeculate.net<\/a>\u00a0as a platform for my freelance work.<\/p>\n

It is possible to find some of my writings on\u00a0tr\u00fa.is<\/a> (articles, faq, and sermons). I wrote a bit on\u00a0How the Church Responds<\/a>, a blog used for reflection during a course at Trinity Lutheran Seminary called How the Church Responds to Disasters.\u00a0I am present on few social networks, among them\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Linkedin<\/a>, and Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n
