Kirkjuritið

I am the co-editor with rev. Kristín Þórunn Tómasdóttir of Kirkjuritið, a printed journal on religion and society. Kirkjuritið is published two to three times a year and is now in its 81st year. During this time it been a vibrant forum for a discussion about church affairs.

When we took over as editors we set forth a new editorial policy for Kirkjuritið that focuses on presenting central issues related to christianity and the church in a manner easily understood. We also led work on its redesign with designer Brynjólfur Ólason. In addition to this we set up a website for Kirkjuritið.
