Welcome to the November 23, 2011 edition of christian carnival ii.   Mark Taylor was supposed to host but must have fallen into a turkey coma, so I’m honored to present the following submissions.   I’ve set the date to say the 23rd so the widget wouldn’t glitch, but I’m actually posting this on the 27th, for anyone who is confused.

Chris Price presents On This Date, the Pilgrims Reached America posted at American Church History.
