Wording query - "Received into the congregation of Christ's flock"

[TeabySea]

What does it mean?
I've someone in my family tree, born 1803 and in the parish register find a baptism in April for her. In June there's another entry for the same person with the above wording.
I find her burial in 1807, so puzzled by the wording.

Yes would have thought so.

The burial in 1807 may not be the same child. It wasn’t uncommon if a young child died to call the next-born sibling of the same sex by the same name.

Child 1 born April 1803, died June 1803
Child 2 born at some point after June 1803, died 1807.

Agree with Snowday. The name will have been given to two children. Look for another birth between that date and the later death.

Realised I made a typo, the child was born 1804. I attach screen grabs of the info I have.

I've looked for another birth and haven't found one. Been through the entire register. The second 'baptism' references the first.
The child that died in 1807 has the same name and was 3 years old so I assume it to be the same one.

The phrase received into the congregation refers to a ceremony after baptism to welcome the baby. Often after a private baptism. If the baby was sickly at birth it would be baptised immediately and then some months later have an official ceremony but of course that couldn't be called a baptism so it was called being welcomed or received into the church.

^Meant to say that there was a later daughter (born after a load of sons) called Charlotte.

This ...
It's called a "reception" where a person is publically entered into the church, and although there are a number forms the wording can take, I think that will be the 1789 Book of Common Prayer in the Anglican Communion.

Thankyou, this makes sense. Same thing happened to my mum, I think - certainly she was baptised very soon after birth
Shall make a note of the context and see if there are any more occurrences.
