Me too, very much. (And that hymn I've always loved!)
Even when I was "just" a Pagan rather than the slightly odd Christo-Pagan I am now, that caring-for-the-deprived ethos, as well as the Christian pacifism I grew up with in the FoR, carried on influencing me. It's one of the reasons why I was drawn specifically to Druidry rather than Wicca.
I've never really seen the *point* of any religion or religious position that doesn't regard both caring-for-the-deprived and caring for the environment as very high priorities. Help and inspiration with doing more of both is kind of what I want any religion I have much to do with to be for.
