As the number of disciples continued to grow, the Hellenists complained against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. So the Twelve called together the community of the disciples and said, “It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table. Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men, filled with the Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint to this task, whereas we shall devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” (Acts 6:1-7)

Problems of language have been with the church from the very beginning. To resolve the problem we have the institution of the Seven (all with Greek names!), who would later be identified with deacons. Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and his family would gather in prayer with the early community (Acts 1:14).
