RECONCILIATION and forgiveness are the central themes of this year`s Easter messages from leaders of the Anglican and Catholic churches.

The Anglican Archbishop of Sydney has described the Federal Government`s apology to the stolen generation as a new beginning for Australia.

In his Easter message, Archbishop Peter Jensen says the apology was a "very Christian idea".

"This year, we as a nation have been summoned to a new beginning in our relationships with the first people of our land," Dr Jensen said.

"We have been asked for reconciliation - a very powerful and very Christian idea."

Sydney Catholic archbishop Cardinal George Pell says the resurrection of Jesus offers people godly forgiveness if they repent.

"This alone is a good reason for rejoicing. Easter greetings and Easter peace to everyone," he said.

President of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, Archbishop Philip Wilson, also emphasised the importance of peace in his Easter message.

"Everywhere we turn, senseless violence is influencing the lives of poor and innocent people and one can be tempted to think that in the midst of all this, there is no way for us to make a difference," Mr Wilson said.

"But at the same time, there is another message, another story and we see that exemplified in the lives of so many people who in the ordinary circumstances of their daily lives are peacemakers."
