I don't think this guy has any business sending out letters to people he's interacted with in a professional capacity to come and visit his church.

Precisely. That's the part that makes me think that there may be something to this complaint.

Probably nothing more than the officer's stupidity (or excess of zeal) in not understanding that what he was doing was completely inappropriate.

Oh well ... I hope that he realizes it now. If not, the city can certainly do without his "help".
