Prayer:

I just want to inform you that you are using a copyrighted image without permission.
You are even using my own bandwidth to display the image.
I am just a small time artist and considerate but when you "hot link" an image it might cause you a lot of trouble. For example, what if I change that image to an inappropriate image?
I also find it interesting you credited "Book of Common Prayer" as a source but not give credit to my image...
