At a village church about 20 miles north of the Sri Lankan capital Colombo, a large notice board displays a list of names starting at 1 and ending at 115. All of them were killed by one murderer – who exploded his suicide bomb during an Easter church service. Alongside is a poem, entitled: “Safely Home”. It ends: “Safely Home in Heaven.”
