This phenomenological study, employing qualitative methodology, focuses on loneliness in pastoral ministry. It explores pastors' experiences with and their denial of loneliness. The study explores both the necessity and the possibility of embracing loneliness within pastoral ministry. The disclosive sample of five married, parish-based Lutheran clergy, basically through interviews and a nine-month long group seminar, expresses and engages experiences of loneliness in pastoral ministry. It is discovered that loneliness is a real experience in pastoral ministry, often experienced and perceived in negative terms. The project establishes that such loneliness possesses the possibility of being a 'cradle' for God's living word.
