I suppose it's good that the church in Jerusalem was dispersed in c. 38. James, as the brother Jesus, carried a lot of authority, and was the standard at this stage of the early church.
And it was Judeo-Christian.
So if the church in Jerusalem hadn't been dispersed Christianity would likely look different today.
