The Lutheran church is a Protestant denomination. It was in the 16th century that the Lutheran church was born as a result of a church reform effort by Martin Luther and a number of others. Martin Luther was known to the religious community as a German monk. Nevertheless, there are some that have come to know Martin Luther as the Father of the Lutheran churches. He is also known as the “Father of Reformation.” Martin Luther was the religious leader that was displeased with some of the practices of the Catholic church, and decided that he would go on to bring this point to the forefront, and address the issues as they stood. Martin Luther further initiated his acts of reform by giving birth to the Lutheran churches. The Lutheran churches were intended to serve as keeping the core values of the Catholic church, but modifying the modes of practice to fit what was believed by some to be the ideal model. One of the most important aspects to the early Lutheran church was education. Therefore, one aspect that Lutheran churches still practiced to closely hold on to was keeping in line with the teachings of the same religious doctrine.
