First produced by the women's theater company in 2004, the theatrical hour reminisces one version of a marriage over a lifetime. With the sparse scenery recreating a vision of somewhere in mid-19th century rural New Zealand, the production becomes an evening as the retro song claims: 'Love is lovelier the second time around.'

Hesburgh Professor of Catholic Theology Gary Anderson states, “Sin has history” meaning that there is a story behind the theology of sin. In The Story of Original Sin, Toews explains the emergence of the doctrine of original sin with the theology of Augustine in the late fourth century on the basis of a mistranslation of the Greek text of Romans 5:12. The thesis of this book is that there is a story behind the theology of original sin, and that story by the time we reach its classical formulation in Augustine in the late fourth and early fifth century is a long way from the beginning of the story in the narrative of Genesis. Toews suggests that it is time to move past Augustine's theology of sin, and embrace a different theology that is arguably more biblically grounded, and makes more sense in the postmodern West and the developing world.
