In the Fall of 1982, Carl founded and became the perennial faculty advisor of Norwich Christian Fellowship.  The story of the remarkable event that led to its founding is in the power point presentation found at Natural Revelation.  The page accessible to the public is found at http://www.norwich.edu/campus/religiousclubs.html.  Our active web sites on campus are available to anyone with a "norwich.edu" email.  Within that site is another site available only to NCF members.  Finally, within that site is a third site available only to NCF leadership.  It sounds like we're some kind of clandestine organization, but that's just the way the Norwich IT people want all their internal sites.  If you ever come to Norwich, let me know and I'll show you these internal sites.  They are quite busy with lots of activities including weekly Large Group Meetings and Small Group Bible Studies.  Our Facebook Site is sporadically updated.

The NCF is co-sponsored by 1) Officers' Christian Fellowship and its partnership with Campus Crusade for Christ's outreach to the military, Valor and 2) Intervarsity Christian Fellowship.  The history of the logo below captures this team effort.

Logo History

Norwich Christian Fellowship (NCF) was originally sponsored by Officers' Christian Fellowship because its faculty founder, Professor Carl Pinkham, was a member of OCF. About five years after its founding, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship came on the campus and asked to join the effort. We made the logo that you see, except it said IVCF where it now says NCF. The reason for the IVCF is obvious, the reason for the remainder of the logo is not, unless you compare it with the OCF logo. One day we happened to notice that if we joined the I of IVCF to the V, we would have the letters NCF. It was clear to us at that point that the whole course of events was God-ordained.
