Sin is not contained as if one person's sin has no effect on the wider community. When one believer spreads a rumor or fosters discontent about something, the entire congregation can become infected with suspicion and division. These sins may seem less dramatic than Aiken's theft or some of the things that we hear about betrayal in the news, yet they corrode trust, they fracture our unity, and obscure God's presence just as effectively.
