Albert Schweitzer is best known for his work in establishing and running a hospital in Africa where he died. Born on the French-German border, he was licensed to the ministry on July 21, 1900 in the Lutheran church and even wrote a biography of Bach (he was an excellent organist). His views on Jesus were not in line with most Christians as he never believed in His deity and that Christ killed Himself to show the world His commitment to God. He eventually joined the Universalist Church.
