deacons

God has always intended to display his glory to the nations, in part, through the unity of Jews and Gentiles within the church (Eph 3:10), and yet it was exactly at this juncture that disunity was erupting in the early Jerusalem church.  In Acts 6 the Greek-speaking Jews began to complain “against” the Hebrew-speaking Jews concerning the distribution of food to widows. The church, therefore, chose seven men to distribute food equitably, yes, but, more than that, to restore unity where there was division. Unity-building was their primary goal; good administration was the  means.
