In the Spring 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 in this blog  The official page accessible to the public is found at http://www.norwich.edu/campus/religiousclubs.html.  Although we have a more-in depth official presence at Norwich, our students have found the Norwich sites to be very cumbersome because of the firewalls required to protect the records of an institution of higher learning. So we have gone off site to establish a Google Docs site with material available to leadership and additional material available to them and the general membership.  It sounds like we're some kind of clandestine organization, but, unfortunately, that's the way we need to be to guard against unfriendly intrusions. We are not trying to hide anything.  In fact we want people to see what we are doing so we have an open site on Facebook which sees a lot of action.  If you have a legitimate reason for access to any of these sites or even a legitimate curiosity, please let me know.

 

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.
