Reference information:
And what does the Bible teach about cultural engagement? Lots of things:

Sometimes we need to engage the world's culture by foregoing our own freedom and becoming servants who observe whatever cultural taboos are deemed sacrosanct (1 Corinthians 9:19-23).

Sometimes we need to engage the world's culture by refusing its tastes and values, as Daniel did in Daniel 1:8-21.

Sometimes we need to engage the world's culture by mocking it, as Elijah did in 1 Kings 18:27.

Sometimes we need to engage the world's culture by attacking it, in a manner analogous to the zeal with which David attacked Goliath and the Philistines in 1 Kings 17:26-54.

----------

In the late 1940s, conservative Christians were called to come out of the forts to which they had retreated under the onslaught of modernistic thinking and to re–engage their culture. The call was heard, and evangelical Christians have been increasingly involved in academia, the arts, the media, medical ethics, politics, and other strategic areas of our culture. Of course, there’s also been significant involvement in pop culture with examples ranging from Christian trinkets sold in Christian bookstores to some pretty good music. - http://www.probe.org/site/c.fdKEIMNsEoG/b.4946959/k.FD98/On_...

----------

It is impossible to be entirely distinct from the culture in which one lives. Everyone connects with and interacts with the non-Christian culture that surrounds them. When we talk about "engaging culture," we simply mean that one needs to interact with the people, ideas, beliefs, customs, values, et al. intentionally, carefully, and biblically. - http://www.churchleaders.com/?news=144237/
