To the difficulty the pastors should give their hands. This study researched what thoughts and behaviors the ministers actually had by the method of questionnaire. It was done from October 20, 1997 through December 10, 1997 on seven thousand of questionnaire paper of which 149 given back on the line of post or firsthandly were analyzed. The questioness consisted of 141 men(94.6%), 8 women(5.4) and 104 pastor on appentice(69.8%). There were 58 questionees(38.9%) who were hospitalized of their own diseases, and 121 questionees(81.3%) who had cancer patients hospitalized among their church people, relatives, or friends. Most of all the questionees(79.9%) had not any experience, such as they took some instruction about cancer patients. 72.5% of all the questionees had not ever served patients around them. The followings are the contents of the enquete: the questionees' view to chronic patients and death, where they put the priority in the case of that they look after patients who are under terrible pain ahead of death, what they think of such a situation as a patient has no technical possibility to be recuperated, why they think pastors do not like to visit chronics, which therapy they choose, whether they mainly control their pain or they do their best in order to heal their diseases, how much the questioned ministers know hospice, where and how they get the information on it, how much important role they play in the hospice team, whether the volunteers for hospice have not worked on account of pastors' misunderstanding to hospice service, whether the ministers want to take part in hospice service with their church people or not, and so forth. Suggestion: First, the education and P.R. about hospice are requested for the ministers. Second, the ministers must participate in hospice activities actively. Therefore the ministers and the churches must firsthandly take part in hospice activities beyond the education only and the raising of the recognition to them.
