German to English Art/Literary Philosophy Immanuel Kant

In Part Three of _Religion within the Bounds of Mere Reason_ (1793), Kant argues for the duty of the human species to form the "ethical community" or "commonwealth". This is an extremely demanding cosmopolitan duty, which needs to be "scaled down" in human hands -- and Kant proposes that this appropriately takes the form of "a church". He then says that the "constitution" (Verfassung) of this ethical community is "best likened" to that of a household, in this passage:

Sie würde noch am besten mit der einer Hausgenossenschaft (Familie) unter einem gemeinschaftlichen, obzwar unsichtbaren, moralischen Vater verglichen werden können ... (Religion 6:102, line 21ff.)

Just wondering if anyone has guidance on the *exact* sense of Hausgenossenschaft.
