Lords Spiritual and Temporal
The term "Lords Spiritual and Temporal" refers to the two categories of members in the House of Lords, the upper chamber of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The Lords Spiritual are bishops from the Church of England, including the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, who contribute to legislative discussions and decisions.
Lords Temporal, on the other hand, are life peers and hereditary peers who hold their titles through appointment or inheritance. Life peers are appointed for their lifetime, while hereditary peers inherit their titles. Together, they play a crucial role in shaping laws and policies in the UK.
