Interesting. Btw, I am from Delaware, just moved to Poland. So, I'm using the term "Evangelicals" for all the Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Fundamentalist and Baptist groupings and sub-groupings. This term, in America does not include Lutherans or Anglicans or main-stream Methodists or Mennonites.
Ewangelico in Europe of course means the opposite, primarily used for Lutherans
Anyway, back to my point -- in Polish we use the term "Książ" for priests. That does not mean father (which is ojciec or tatusz).
That was to answer fish hawk who mistakenly used the English term for priests and extrapolated it to the entire non-English speaking world.

“The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is a mainline Protestant denomination headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The ELCA officially came into existence on January 1, 1988, by the merging of three churches and currently has about 4,633,887 baptized members. It is the seventh-largest religious body and the largest Lutheran denomination in the United States.”
