I am wondering what Simon means by having active participation in cultural studies; whether this means studying the participation by others or actually having the social scientists participate themselves.  I would think that as academia, direct participation by the ones studying would be detrimental and biasing towards results.  However, the church is not limited by this standard and I believe active participation in godly struggles (which many are) would be beneficial for the kingdom.
