Faced with a growing size of the church, a complaint arose that Hellenist widows were being neglected in the daily distribution.  The disciples are faced with a negative reality that cannot be ignored.  The church comes together to face the problem with candor and find people good repute, full of wisdom, and full of the Holy Spirit.  Through their response, we look at signs of a mature church so that we can learn to face all kinds of negative realities.
