ANCHORAGE - It was Easter Sunday, which for many meant bellies full of chocolate, and churches everywhere full to capacity as people came together to celebrate this Christian holiday.

But one issue that divided the faith community last week was Proposition 5.

"We are in a time when it is going to take courage to follow that Jesus beyond the doors of our church, to witness a love beyond reason, a love that embraces all of God's children," said Reverend Michael Burke during his Easter sermon at St. Mary's Episcopal Church.

The question begs that will this be talked about at all? I'm sure there are many folks in these churches where Prop 5 affects them. The church needs to address it now because it will keep coming up until they do.
