Ordained Ministry
The Rev. Coors was received on trial and ordained Deacon in the New York East Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1917.
Prior to his election to the Episcopacy, Rev. Coors had a distinguished career in the Methodist ministry in the State of Michigan. As such, he was a close friend and a fellow laborer with (future-Bishop) Marshall Russell Reed. Among the Michigan churches he pastored, the Rev. Dr. Coors served the Central Methodist Church of Lansing, Michigan for fourteen years (until elected a Bishop). His final sermon, preached July 1952, was "There Is So Little Time."
One biographer states about Bishop Coors, "he was a refined, quiet, Christian gentleman, tall and spare in appearance. He commanded great respect wherever he went and was a thoughtful preacher."

Famous quotes containing the words ordained and/or ministry:
“I don’t think I was constructed to be monogamous. I don’t think it’s the nature of any man to be monogamous.... Men are propelled by genetically ordained impulses over which they have no control to distribute their seed into as many females as possible.”
—Marlon Brando (b. 1924)
“the eave-drops fall
Heard only in the trances of the blast,
Or if the secret ministry of frost
Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
