Summary
In 1835 a group physically disrupted a presentation in the Zion German Lutheran church in Lancaster. The city's Universalist church was permitted on occasion to use this church, because they did not have a building of their own. Some objected to the meeting being held in the English language in their church and attacked people in attendance at that meeting.
