Well, thank you everyone for your ideas on angels, I'm now going to start
looking at the role of angels in faiths other than Christian, but
while doing that I would like to ask a design based question and to
sound out opinions.

When designing for a spiritual space, is it better to treat the space
like any other and to use the religious information like that you
would use to design for a theatrical back drop, or do you need to
have belief in that faith in order to interpret the information with
understanding? what have artists done in the past?
