In 1964 she was ordained as a minister in the United Church of Christ, the same year in which she received a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship; in 1969, she received her PhD from Duke University.

As a facilitator of interfaith relations, Zikmund was a member of the Interfaith Relations Committee of the National Council of Churches, in which role she served from 1991 until 2007; seven of those years, she spent as chair of the committee. From 1981, she was academic dean at the Pacific School of Religion; from the latter year until 2000, she was president of Hartford Seminary. She was also the first woman to serve as president of the Association of Theological Schools of the United States and Canada, from 1986 until 1988; from 1984 to 1992, she was on the World Council of Churches Programme for Theological Education. Later in her career Zikmund taught in Japan; she has also been a visiting scholar at the Catholic University of America and at Wesley Theological Seminary.
