Frederick Temple(30 November 1821 – 23 December 1902) was anEnglishacademic,teacher,churchman, andArchbishop of Canterbury, from 1896 until his death.As archbishop he presided in 1897 over the decennialLambeth Conference. In the same year Temple andArchbishop of YorkWilliam Maclaganissued a joint response toApostolicae curae, anencyclicalof the pope which denied the validity of Anglican orders. In 1899 the archbishops again acted together, when an appeal was addressed to them by the united episcopate, to rule on the use ofincensein divine service and on the carrying of lights in liturgical processions. After hearing the arguments the two archbishops decided against both practices. During his archbishopric Temple was deeply distressed by the divisions which were weakening theAnglican Church, and many of his most memorable sermons were calls for unity.His first charge as primate on "Disputes in the Church" was felt to be a most powerful plea for a more catholic and a more charitable temper, and again and again during the closing years of his life he came back to this same theme. He was zealous also in the cause of foreign missions, and in a sermon preached at the opening of the new century he urged that a supreme obligation rested upon Britain at this epoch in the world's history to seek to evangelise all nations. In 1900 he presided over the World Temperance Congress in London, and on one occasion preached in the interests of women's education.On 9 August 1902, he discharged the important duties of his office at thecoronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, and two days later was received in private audience by the King and Queen to be presented with theRoyal Victorian Chain, a new decoration founded by the King in honour of his mother. In early October that year he visitedSt. David′s Theological CollegeinLampeter, Wales, for its 75th anniversary. The strain at his advanced age told upon his health, however. During a speech which he delivered in theHouse of Lordson 2 December 1902 on theEducation Bill of that year, he was taken ill, and, though he revived sufficiently to finish his speech, he never fully recovered, and died on 23 December 1902. He was interred inCanterbury Cathedralfour days later, where his grave is located in the cloister garden. His second son,William Temple, became Archbishop of Canterbury thirty-nine years later and is buried close to him.
