Church censors Bach’s 'Air on the G string' because of its naughty title

Reports on social media suggest that at least one church doesn't approve of the popular subtitle to the famous slow movement of the Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D.

It seems an American Methodist church doesn't like to mix music and undergarments. A recent post on social media details a church's order of service intentionally omitting the full subtitle of Johann Sebastian Bach's Air, played at the beginning of the service.
