These accomplishments helped him become a Professor of Christian Theology at Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey. Discover James's works on his website at www.jtangelidis.com.
Fun Facts...At the age of 24, James backpacked through Europe for two months. In 60 days, he visited 28 cities in 11 countries - including France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Portugal. He saw nearly all of the major sites and took this adventure by himself which taught him how to survive on his own.
Because of his relationship with God and his desire to do good things in this world, James worked for 9 years at a children's home called Saint Basil Academy in Garrison, NY. There, he helped raise children who were in need. For different reasons, the children’s parents could not take care of them, so he helped raise them under the guiding light of the Greek Orthodox Christian Church. |

I believe there is truth in the proverb, “The pen is mightier than the sword.”
The damage done by the emperor’s sword can be rectified by the writer’s pen. Nothing can replace a life lost by the sword, but with the help of the pen, the story of that life can teach, inspire and unveil truth that can save many lives. When the emperor dies, so does his sword, as does his power and his influence on the world; yet, the writer’s pen can leave a lasting impression unto the ages. The ideas behind the pen can change the world; something, the emperor tries to do with his sword, but inevitably fails. Certainly, if we dig deeper, we can discover additional meanings within the proverb's words, but it is clear that the pen is powerful. The pen can make a difference in people’s lives and with the help of God, I hope to make a difference in people’s lives with my pen. I hope to give life.

Plato on writers for the youth…… Mustn't we, rather, look for those craftsmen whose good natural endowments make them able to track down the nature of what is fine and graceful, so that the young, dwelling as it were in a healthy place, will be benefited by everything; and from that place something of the fine works will strike their vision or their hearing, like a breeze bringing health from good places; and beginning in childhood, it will, without their awareness, with the fair speech lead them to likeness and friendship as well as accord?"
"In this way," he said, "they'd have by far the finest rearing." - Plato, The Republic, Book III, 401c, Translation Allan Bloom |
