Abstract

Transgressions bring disorder in the fabric of the familia Dei. They spoil the fellowship. Fellowship is the driving and binding force within the familia Dei. Transgressions impact negatively on the well-being of the familia Dei and results in dysfunctionality. To remove the dysfunctionality from the familia Dei requires an act of thorough going transformation or cleansing.
