I admit that lots of items shouldn't even be in stores (-coughRingofInviscough-). I wondered why those were even there, but never occurred that people actually used those items in that church (Then again, I never played a proper cleric).
And to note, there's only one evil temple I can name, and that one never was given a store itself (It just... sits there).
I still would appreciate some churches being put in, though, one that can offer restoration, as that was taken out (Gets annoying when people have to wait and hope for a cleric to get on to heal some heavy level drain).
About the Monk thing... I thought the class was way more on the defensive side: Bonus AC, high saves across the board, often having high AC and... not too good AB/Damage.
