| Zusammenfassung: | In this paper, we describe the roles and stresses of ministers in responding to the November, 1985, floods in West Virginia.

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. |
