Hills National convention aims to form new party in Missouri
The proclamation invites a June Sedalia gathering to field a state ticket under the Missouri Nationals urging loyalty to the convention's nominees while challenging Democrats and Republicans. Analysts doubt the Nationals will significantly shift Missouri politics as major parties preserve strength. Spiritual reflections follow on humility, ignorance before God, and the growth of grace illustrated by a polishing metaphor, citing Dr. Gavin.
