\nThe “Articles” section for this year’s edition of the jonestown report<\/em> is dedicated to the memory of Rev. Dr. Karen Stroup, who died<\/a> on January 21, 2012 at the age of 54. Karen was a minister in the Disciples of Christ, a professor in religion and psychology, and a regular contributor to the jonestown report<\/em>. This page of the report was where she found her home with us, and where her voice will be missed both this year and in the future. Her past writings are located here<\/a>; the list of articles that she expressed an interest in writing is now part of our collection of story ideas that have yet to be explored.<\/p>\n
