Also allow me also to ask, what rules are in mainstream generic Churchanity which cover sin in the camp?

If you walk into the Church of the Immaculate Vanilla where there are no standards of dress, attire, and everyone is always reminded that they're always sinners, and will always sin no matter what, isn't sin no longer an issue?

Therefore why would it be hidden?

You raise up some good points and I don't have the answers for all of them. (However, I do know that affairs and stuff like that are not tolerated in mainstream churches. It's not anything goes.) But I have tried the conservative route and I know rules do not work to keep sin out of the camp. Rather, it seems to keep it hidden.
