The Conflict at Zion series contains correspondence, reports, and clippings related to a major conflict that occurred at Zion during the 1990s. Modernization and budgetary needs of the music program and a conflict over the leadership and business style of Pastor Dan Johns were at the heart of this conflict, however the tensions and surrounding these issues affected the congregation as a whole, as well as other administrative aspects of the Church. This conflict ultimately led to a number of congregants and staff members leaving the Church and to a lengthy conflict resolution and reconciliation process.
