"Foot-washing baptist" is a very old-school term for Baptists (usually Southern) that went to church devoutly, and performed or had performed the foot-washing ceremony as described in the Bible. Jesus washes the feet of his disciples, and when Peter objects, he explains that in order to truly be a servant, one must humble themselves before others. It is a reference to a strict adherence to "cleaniness" of the soul. As humans, we should not experience pleasure, for that takes away from God's power and our worship of him. A "just" Baptist, like Miss Maudie, is a Christian who follows Baptist rules, but believe that it is ok to take in pleasure in the experiences of life. ||
