St. James today looks like any other church in the suburbs. Inside its quiet, sun slanting down onto pews, hymn books neatly arranged for the next service. On Sundays more than a thousand people file into its vast interior, but on a stormy Sunday’s night in July four years ago, shortly after the first hymn had been sung, gunmen burst into a side entrance and attacked the congregation with grenades and automatic guns. The scene then was horribly different.
