The Curch of Iceland is a misnaming of "Þjóðkirkjan".
"Þjóð" -> meaning Nation,
and "kirkjan" -> meaning the Church,
would then only be correctly named if it be called The National Church. Aither it should be called that, or perhaps better still The National Church of Iceland to differantiate it from other Lutheren Evangelical churches.
If the Lutheren-Evangelical Church would be called "Kirkja Íslands" then The Church of Iceland would be a correct translation, but it is not the name of the state sponsored church. It's named "Þjóðkirkjan" not "Kirkja Íslands".
I suggest it be changed to 'The National Church of Iceland'
Also it would be smart if it be written in the search, it being The Luteren-Evangelical Church of Iceland or The Luteren Evangelical Church of Iceland, that it be redirected to this site/stub.
It seems after a google and wikipedia test, that there is no other church in the world that identifies itself by the name of "Luteran Evangelical Curch" other than the Icelandic state-church. Others aither call themselves "Evangelical Luteran-" or just "Luteran-". So in essence there is no need to call it "The Luteren-Evangelical Church of Iceland" but enough to call it The Luteren-Evangelical Church or The Luteren Evangelical Church'.
