| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. |
| 0:09.1 | I'm Mike Whitmer, and I called today's reading House of Worship. |
| 0:14.4 | When Britain's House of Commons was bombed in World War II, |
| 0:18.4 | Prime Minister Winston Churchill told Parliament they must rebuild it according to its |
| 0:23.1 | original design. It must be small, so debates would remain face to face. It must be oblong, |
| 0:31.2 | rather than semi-circular, allowing politicians to move around the center. This preserved Britain's party system, |
