(a) What events led to the appointment of seven deacons in the early Church?
(b) What three lessons can be learnt from this episode?

A negligible number of candidates answered this question and they perform creditably well as they gave account of the Hellenists complain and the appointment of the deacons. The (b) part was the undoing of the candidates as they could not state the following:

(i) Christians should imbibe the culture of division of labour.
(ii) Christians should avoid court settlements.
(iii) Christians should be ready to serve in any capacity when called upon.
