The root cause of this undesirable development was a felt neglect of the Grecian widows in the daily administration of relief materials. It would be recalled that the feeling of commonness that prevailed in the early Church had prompted affluent believers to willingly sell off their valuables, bring the proceeds (and other belongings) to the apostles’ feet and “…distribution was made unto every man according as he had need” (Acts 2:44,45; 4:35). As the Church continued to grow however, demand for the relief materials increased. The growing assembly had imperceptibly reached a new level, requiring effective supportive administrative system. The simple administrative style used to run the erstwhile young church was not adequate for the needs of a continuously growing assembly. The result was that one group soon began to feel neglected. In a growing church setting, there may be need to enlarge the administrative structure from time to time without altering the Scripture or changing any of its doctrines. Our study presents us with the danger of offences emanating from the fact of multiplication of disciples. It shows how the apostles remained committed to their primary responsibility despite the need to find solution to the problem. It also spells out the requirements for selecting quality workers and leaders in the church. Finally, it records the positive results of right decisions in the work of the ministry and the trial of Stephen. .
