If I remember my history correctly, Martin Luther was a failed monk. However, he can be credited by helping develop a more standardized German language.
I hadn't known about his period as a monk. He's much better known as a priest. Interesting, though: he swore to become a monk after he survived a lightning strike!
In Germany, all Lutheran churches are called Evangelisch. Good post.
