Abstract
What is the meaning of sacrament? How can a professional Orthodox Christian lay chaplain participate in sacramental ministry without the grace given by ordination? This piece on Christina Hanegraaff's first year as a Clinical Pastoral Education resident explores this question through reflecting on her experiences of entering into people's suffering and carrying their cross alongside them-a modern-day Simon of Cyrene.
