It is a good article, though I think its a bit too sweeping. There are many kinds of protestants (and indeed catholics too) and many, many strands of theological thinking. My reading of the situation is that there is a “coming together” of denominations, in the sense that we are much more appreciative of each others experience. I’m a Baptist by choice, but I’ve learned an awful lot from Catholics over the past few years. I’ve realised why they believe what they believe, and what that means, and personally, thats been a very enriching experience.

“In fact, it’s likely that Jimbo will give him the sandwich because he is concerned for the tramp’s soul and wants to share the gospel with him and make sure he is saved.”
Not shared by all Baptists. Most of us would give him a sandwich because he IS HUNGRY and take the opportunity to witness, big difference in what he said.
I wonder if “Jimbo” is his real name or this is a vain attempt at degrading Jim by making light of his name because of his belief. Hmmm.....

Southerner like myself.
My oldest kid’s name is JimmieJack, a diminutive of his name.
Women also call me “maam,” because of my age.
It’s a cultural thing.

I know there are some out there who like to knock Southern customs and names and it is a sore point when it is from outside the South. ~Especially mocking accents.
My husband is called Spanky. We have no idea how this arose, but he is stuck with it. Nicknames are endemic in the South as you know.

Nicknames are endemic in the South as you know.There also endemic in Filipino circles apparently. My Dad is called "Pempe" (never figured out what that means) and I have cousin whose nickname is "Jingle" when his real name is Dennis.
