Answer:

The 2 categories where: Physical, and spiritual.

The people who addressed the physical problems, where chosen men of the church.

The people who address the spiritual problems, where the Apostles.

Explanation:

The leadership of the church fell to the Apostles. The Apostles remained responsible for the spiritual oversight of the entire church while tasks and responsibilities associated with physical care of the members were delegated to specifically chosen men. No tightly defined system of government existed at this time. As a young, local church, its ministry included no official outside missionary activity, but it was soon to take place.
