[2] Wycliffe Global Alliance is also a member of the Forum of Bible Agencies International.
[3] Wycliffe Bible Translators USA was founded in 1942[4] by William Cameron Townsend.
When other Wycliffe organisations were founded around the world, they initially operated as its divisions in those countries.
[6] Wycliffe bases its philosophy on Townsend's Protestantism which regards the intercultural and multilinguistic spread of Christianity as a divine command.
The organization adheres to the principle of sola scriptura and regards Biblical texts as the authoritative and infallible word of God.
