James Twyman, the Peace Troubadour, got his nickname because of his peacemaking efforts around the world. He is a talented man who uses his abilities to unite people of all faiths through writing, film, and music.

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.

The Beloved Community is an organization for all religions, and it has 400 peace ministers all over the world. James Twyman is the president. He also founded the Seminary of Spiritual Peacemaking.

James was raised Catholic. When he was 18, he made the decision to become a Franciscan. A spiritual meeting in Assisi occurred in 1986. Religious leaders from around the world came together to pray for peace. Represented were Catholicism by the Pope, Buddhism by Dalai Lama, and ten others.

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.

Years later, in 1994, James received a copy of the twelve Assisi prayers from a friend. It sat in a drawer for a week before he read it. While reading the first prayer, James heard music so plainly that he questioned whether it was coming from his head or the next room.

It took only an hour to read through all twelve prayers and set each one to music. James is a very talented man in many ways, but its his passion for music through which he is able to reach the largest audience. Hes been using it to spread a message of peace around the world ever since!
