Answer Details
The discrimination in the daily distribution of relief items in the early church came up when the Hellenists (Greek-speaking Jewish Christians) complained about the neglect of their widows. The Hebrews (Aramaic-speaking Jewish Christians) were taking care of their own widows, but the Hellenists felt that their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution. This issue prompted the apostles to address the situation and led to the decision to appoint deacons to help with the distribution of relief items so that no one was neglected.
