Who could have ever imagined that laceless men's shoes would be banned by a Church of God leader? Oh wait, they have banned so many other things, so why not!
I remember decades ago that penny loafers were considered the shoe of choice for gay men, at least according to some COG ministers. According to these ministers, putting a penny in the loafer and not wearing socks with the shoes was a signal to other men that the person was looking for sex.
David C Pack, the leader of the most superfantabulous Church of God to ever exist has supposedly banned his "men" from wearing loafers.
God expects a properly dressed man to have laces in his shoes and tied in a proper bow.
