Born in Pittston, Pennsylvania, he received his BA from Wheaton College in 1926, his diploma from the Westminster Seminary in 1931, and was also educated at the Princeton Theological Seminary. After serving two Presbyterian Churches in western Pennsylvania he became a missionary to Manchuria in 1934.

He helped to organize what is now Faith OPC in Long Beach, serving from 1941-1955, and was the organizing pastor at First OPC in Sunnyvale from 1955-1967. After a stint at Calvary OPC in Glenside, Pennsylvania from 1967-1971, Rev. Coray returned to California where he served as associate pastor at El Camino OPC from 1975 until his retirement in 1978.

Gresham Machen: A Silhouette (1981), and Against the World: The Odyssey of Athanasius (1992). Married and the father of four children, he passed away in 2002 at the age of 98.visualizza meno
