And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not fitting that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty."
The meaning of Acts 6:2-3
1. Priests and especially bishops need to stop serving administrative roles.
2. Deacons need to dedicate themselves to serving the poor and administration, not liturgy.
3. The men chosen for this diaconia should not be even chosen by the bishops but by the people, who are the one who give the money anyway.
