Just another whimsical meaning of "angel." Pink chiffon, I think, would suit you.

Longer than a minute, at least at the speed of my travels. Stay a microsecond or two. Thanks.

Yeah, It does look like a galaxy from space. A comma after sink would clarify. A wet what?

Bless you for diligently and humbly seeking truth. May you find peace in your new divinely inspired doctrine, which suppresses your old divinely inspired doctrine.
May I suggest the use of an Ecclesiastical Censer in your worship? As its name implies, a censer is an instrument having to do with incense and, particularly in ecclesiastical parlance, its use in the Divine Liturgy. In the Judeo-Christian Tradition, incense has always played an important role (Ex 30:1-8; 37:25-29). The liturgical censer, as you may know from studying these matters, is a metal receptacle, usually bronze, but sometimes gold, in which burning charcoal is placed and over which is poured the incense to be burned. To this receptacle are attached chains, which enable the priest to swing the vessel for the incensation of the Blessed Sacrament. Granulated aromatic resin is usually used to produce a fragrant cloud of smoke, symbolizing prayers rising to God.
The use of incense comes into the Church from pagan worship (hence the Church's misgivings concerning it during the first centuries) and, as abundant references to incense in the Old Testament would seem to indicate, from Judaism as well.
So, why not apply the musty odor of Mould smoke to your worship, which when mixed with the odors your parishioners, be there any, will maintain a fungal ambiance to the Service.

The vibrator idea is worthy of thought and perhaps future translocation to the annals of poemranker.

Gold has some fine qualities that you may lump as splendour. I'd use a less superlative word, however. But the word "divine" makes gold like God, and that I cannot accept.

I, in fact, do choose gold for the reasons you mention and for others that I could add. That is not the point of disagreement.

Good call on the last line. It should be, âcreator of places to dwell in.â
Jack is none of the above. Thanks.

As a symbol for God, gold is a good one. But to equate the maker with the made doesn't quite work for me.

You have only pointed out a symbol of gold in the Judeo-Christian faith, of which there are many. Thatâs different from equating the splendor of gold to the splendor of God, as you asserted before.

No really, You said in effect that gold is as splended as God. Is that your faith? Is that what you believe?
