When people talk about being counter cultural Christians and hype up cultural engagement, a clear explanation of what that looks like often gets lost in all the hooplah. This pastor blogger describes cultural engagement with a 3-part framework consisting of:
- Rejecting what is evil
- Receiving what is good
- Redeeming what is broken or lost.
That seems to be a nice, concise summary of what is going on (or should be going on). In case you aren't planning to actually click on the link and read the rest of his article, he goes on to lay out "Six Rules of Cultural Engagement" within the 3-part framework:
- Be present.
- Practice discernment.
- Develop your theology.
- Find courage.
- Speak clearly.
- Love.
