Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
They're fewer than Anglican monks and nuns but they exist. I think a convent of Swedish Benedictine nuns became Roman Catholic. One abbey limps along in the Church of Sweden as does St Augustine's House in Michigan, with never more than two or three monks at a time, started about 50 years ago by an American, Arthur Kreinheder, who became a Church of Sweden priest. (It's next to a Sylvestrine Benedictine monastery that moved there a year after Fr Arthur got started. The Lutherans' chapel is better.)

I once read a spy novel where the protagonist dug a secret tunnel under a cemetery with the help of Lutheran monks.
