Each week brings the anniversaries of great milestones, horrid tragedies, amazing triumphs, telling tribulations, inspirational progress, and everything in between.

Here are just a few things that happened this week, Nov. 4-10, in Church history. They include the first time Gideon Bibles came to hotel rooms, the death of an influential Medieval Catholic theologian, and the birth of the Reverend Billy Graham.
