Answer Details
In the Early Church, the appointment of the seven deacons was to resolve the complaints of the Hellenist widows. The Hellenist widows felt neglected in the distribution of food compared to the Hebrew widows. So, the apostles appointed seven men full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom to oversee the distribution of food, ensuring that the Hellenist widows were not neglected. This act demonstrates the early Church's commitment to social justice and equality among its members.
