Agency

Is it good pastoral theology to remove human agency from grace and redemption (as John Calvin/Augustine do) or should an element of human participation/action be required in God's plan of redemption?

This is not so much of a free will debate, but a puzzlement in pondering what it means to the average Christian/non-Christian if humans have are only passive receivers of whatever spiritual grace (or lack thereof) God chooses. Is this healthy or it is necessary to properly consider God?
