Harriet Monsell vs Johann Sebastian Bach

​My vote: Harriet
Do I need to explain Bach? He was indisputably one of the greatest composers ever and Lutheran to boot. He was an incredible musician whose legacy is one of inspiration and wonder.
Harriet was the daughter of an Irish baronet who married Charles Monsell, an Anglican curate. After his death in 1850, she became more involved with the Oxford Movement, an Anglican-Catholic blend of church and social services. She worked among “fallen women” and founded the Community of St. John the Baptist in 1852, an Anglican order of women living according to the rule of St. Augustine. The sisters ministered to women and children in need, and still have several communities, including one in New Jersey. For her real life contributions, Harriet gets my vote. Bach inspired, Harriet served.
