might struggle with it. It depends on how your church looks at the value of some people separating themselves off from the world to focus on serving God to the exclusion of all else - some Christian Churchs - notably Catholics - have this, and might well see Christ as the prototype?

I don't know; it'll be interesting to see what happens with it.
