In this paper, we describe the roles and stresses of ministers in responding to the November, 1985, floods in West Virginia. We present the results of follow-up interviews with ministers covering such issues as work overload, frustrations, role conflict, and stress symptoms. In particular, we explore the unique challenges ministers face in helping people to integrate the traumatic and tragic events of the disaster into the theological context of their religious beliefs.
