no, celibate religious persons ( monks, unmarried priests, and as you mentioned Nuns, are rare-to-non-existant in most Protestant denominations. Luther was not only opposed to celibacy ( he married an ex-Nun- Katharine Von Bora)- but also chauvinistic as , well a Foreign Legionaire would be- he followed the Paulist track that women should not take any active role in the management of the church- apart from well, child care, singing hymns, etc. This ruled out female religious as Catholics know them. ( it is rare to find a Lutheran church named after a female saint). There are nuns and monks- which evolve into celibate priests- in the Anglo-Catholic branch of Episcopal Church, in the US, among the men- they are known as the Cowley Fathers. In a Cowley monastery rectory- there are eight breviary officers who are in charge. These men have specific responsibilities. There are also Episcopal Nuns- again rare. Not any in Lutheranism or the Baptist faith. There are Deaconesses who are involved in charitable deeds- such as nursing, in Lutheran Homes and Hospitals for example, but they are categorically NOT NUNS.
