  Trudy James, an Episcopal minister and former hospital chaplain, recruits volunteers for the CareTeam program.The chaplain radiates warmth and conviction for her program and feels the experience of interfaith has changed her own spirituality."Interfaith involvements bring spiritual value and sharing," says James."Christians call it doing God's work, a ministry; Jews call it a mitzvah, a good deed or commandment; Buddhists say ‘metta,' doing loving-kindness."
  
  James sets up teams of volunteers who provide both emotional and practical support for individuals and household living with HIV/AIDS.She is looking to organize more interfaith teams, wanting to draw in the Jewish community.Currently, Temple Beth Am in the Northend and Bellevue's Temple B'nai Torah have care teams.More are needed, says James.James attends services at area temples and synagogues, and has spoken to rabbinical groups.She spoke convincingly about the value the CareTeams bring both to the care partners and to the team members themselves."This program brings people of all faiths together - and they learn about each other."
  
  "Volunteers receive something back here," reminds James."This results in actual relationships, and in some cases, teams spend two to four years with one person.Teams stay with the care partner until they die.Friendships are made, James observed, with each other and with their care partners, too."
  ...
  Program Director James wants more Jewish team members on the interfaith teams."It's [all] human being to human being," she says."Each team makes a huge difference in the household of someone living with HIV/AIDS.The team experience is so meaningful."
  
  Responding to the usual questions about risk factors and contact with HIV, James emphasizes the low risk factor, stating "Nothing volunteers do could expose them [to risk]."Volunteer training for CareTeams is scheduled on Saturday, Feb. 2, at University Presbyterian Church in Seattle.Contact Trudy James at MultifaithWorks at 206-324-1520 for more information.
