Colombo. “Tengo miedo, por supuesto. Pero debemos ir a la iglesia”, confiesa Ranjan Christopher Fernard, un taxista cristiano que pretende ir a rezar con su familia por los muertos de los atentados de Sri Lanka, desafiando al temor.

Este hombre, de 55 años, vive en Negombo, donde la iglesia de San Sebastián fue blanco de uno de los ataques que dejaron 290 muertos el domingo de Pascua.
