Debating what Easter means:

• Easter's message of life resonates with those facing death | For those with terminal illness, it tests their faith's conviction that death is the doorway to heaven. (The Grand Rapids [Mich.] Press)
  
  
• On God | He's alive and well. (Mark Goldblatt, National Review Online)
  
  
• Resurrections of spirit | Easter also presents us with the reassuring idea that there's no tragedy great enough to destroy us, unless we yield to it (Hugh Mackay, The Sydney Morning Herald)
  
  
• Easter and afterlife | Easter's lessons and ideas aren't limited to Christianity (Editorial, The Hartford [Conn.] Courant)
  
  
• Easter must be a celebration of life | We all share a will to live, greater than a mere biological urge to survive long enough to breed (Richard Harries, The Observer)
  
  
• The springs of faith | Easter is our celebration of the return of spring, the promise of resurrection, something solid on which to hang our hopes and dreams (Editorial, The News & Observer, Raleigh, N.C.)
  
  
• Hope, even in death | Even those who do not share the theology may share the sense of joyous rescue that the story conveys. (The Cincinnati Post)
  
  
• To forgive, divine | The wisdom, and healthfulness, of letting go of anger (The Washington Post)
  
  
• Easter means taking fresh look at the world, says Archbishop of Canterbury | Meanwhile, Bishop of Blackburn laments that holiday is losing its significance in the life of the Church and the nation at large. (The Times, London)
  
  
• Christians live their faith by giving back in diverse ways | Despite differences, believers share Easter together (Kalamazoo [Mich.] Gazette)
  
  
• The last word on resurrection | From the ubiquity of resurrection myths in the world's religions, it is obvious that the life-and-death question of the vegetation cycle provided one of mankind's earliest impulses to superstition (A.C. Grayling, The Guardian, London)
