That's a really interesting analogy, but I have to say I'm glad that Season 7 Buffy doesn't work at my church.

Agreed, Buffy's behavior for most of season 7 was the furthest thing from being an example of good or effective 'pastoral care' and 'pastoral leadership.' But within the bounds of that one episode, "Chosen," in which she has her 'cookie dough' epiphany and then realizes that 'alone' doesn't have to be her epitaph, I think there's a useful metaphor for me, personally.

If Buffy-as-experienced-over-the-whole-of-Season-7 worked as a pastor at a church, she'd end up being kicked out (probably quicker than she ended up getting kicked out of the Summers house on Revello Dr.) and might do a lot of harm before she were fired. I won't be offering her as an example for seminary students to emulate any time soon!
