The Peacemaker

By Liz Thompson

James Twyman has been called the Peace Troubadour of the world for his peacemaking efforts. He is a bestselling author, a film maker, and a musician, and he uses his talents to unite people around the world from every type of faith.

James music has been enjoyed at the Pentagon, the United Nations, the US Capitol, and at projects like The Cloth of Many Colors. James has also ventured into hostile territories to spread his musical peace. Millions have heard him in Iraq, Ireland, South Africa, Bosnia, and Serbia.

James Twymans most popular books are Emissary of Light, Emissary of Love, and the most recent one, The Moses Code. The Moses Code is scheduled for release soon in a film version, joining his other films, including the award-winning Indigo.

James Twyman is the president of the Beloved Community. It is an interreligious organization that boasts 400 peace ministers from around the world. He is also the founder of the Seminary of Spiritual Peacemaking.

Raised Catholic, James decided at the age of 18 to become a Franciscan. It was in 1986 that James learned about a spiritual meeting in Assisi. There, religious leaders like the Pope and the Dalai Lama came together to pray for peace. In all, twelve religions were represented.

The meeting in Assisi was a turning point for James Twyman. It proved that people of different backgrounds can come together for a united cause. Differences are usually the topic when those of various faiths come together.

James received a copy of the twelve Assisi prayers from a friend in 1994. They sat in a desk drawer for a week before he read them. As he read the first, he heard music playing. It was coming from his own mind, but it was as clear as if there were a radio in the room.

It took James Twyman only an hour to set all twelve prayers to music. James has many talents " film, writing, and even magic " but it is his passion for music that spreads his message of peace around the world. - 18780
