Not a bad start. {Angel of Glory's Rise} definelty has a place in this deck.

I'd add more artifact ramp ({Sol Ring}, {Thran Dynamo}, {Worn Powerstone}, ect.). Maybe some utility lands ({Cavern of Souls}, {Maze of Ith}, {Secluded Steppe}, {Drifting Meadow}) and white has a proud tradition of removal spells ({Path to Exile}, {Swords to Plowshares}) and board sweepers ({Day of Judgement})

If you can't get the {Maze of Ith} use {Kor Haven} and {Mystifying Maze} if you can get all 3 the use all three.

I second everything these two said. In addition, any mono-white EDH deck should have  {Emeria, the Sky Ruin}.

White also has the rare opportunity of burying an opponent's commander into their library. I recommend looking into cards like {Condemn}, {Banishing Stroke}, {Terminus}, and {Oust}.

If you're going to run that many basic plains, I'd add {strata scythe}. Makes creatures big quick, particularly late game.

If you wanna drop serious money {Loyal Retainers}.

Also white has the ability to outlast others with simple lifegain for creature drops I would suggest stuff like  {Soul Warden}
Also you have access to things that give protection  {Voice of All},  {Concerted Effort} <is awesome. {Shaman en-Kor} works well with protection and bouncing around the damage to creatures that can take it (or don't need to)

Just more thoughts..

Wally just reminded me of {Mother of Runes} - another white staple that will serve you quite well.

Maybe run all the runes. (ie. {Rune of Protection: Artifacts}) if you run all of them you cycle away the ones you don't use and provides card draw and protection.
