Katharine Sarah Moody is an academic who has engaged in deep and critical reflection on the work of Pyrotheology. In her excellent book Radical Theology and Emerging Christianity, she does this through an in-depth analysis of Radical Theology in relation to the Emerging Church Movement. In that book she not only offered insights into the theory of Pyrotheology, but observed, participated in, and reflected on, it's practice in ikon. As part of her critical reflection, she outlined two ikon services. What you are about to read was an event that took place at the Wake festival in Belfast, N.Ireland.
