Seven Churches Which are in Asia

Remember that the book of Revelation is:

Things That Are - Things That Were - Things That Will be

Revelation 1:19 (Write "the things which thou has seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be thereafter:)

We know that revelation is symbolic, has signs, beasts and things that represent - Kings and Kingdoms, Rulers, Nations and events.

Revelation 1:20 (The mstery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand and the seven golden candelsticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches.)

It clearly states that the seven stars are the angels the the seven churches; and the candlesticks are the seven churches. So what is meant by the angels of the churches?
