The best answer is: The congregation lacked leadership/organization.

Explanation: In Acts 6 a complaint arose that Hellenistic widows were being neglected in the daily distribution of food. This was a practical/organizational failure, not a doctrinal one, so the apostles appointed seven men to oversee the distribution so the apostles could continue prayer and the ministry of the word.
