skjebnefellesskap

Norwegian to English Art/Literary Religion Religious history
I could use a little help to find a good word/words for this word in an academic document outlining religious political history in the sixteenth century:

"Stikk i strid med Melanchthons ønske om en riksreformasjon, var lutheranerne og zwinglianerne på veg inn i et skjebnefellesskap."

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks to you all for your respsonses. I think Diarmuid's suggestion is the one that fits best for my purposes. It is very similar to Per's suggestion, and simply fits the genre better: as Per states, there could be any ways to combine the two concepts. Thanks again."
