The young Zoran Vujisić completed his undergraduate studies at Thomas Edison State College (US) and a Licentiate of Sacred Theology at [[St. Sophia Ukrainian Orthodox [[Seminary]] (US). He later earned an M.A. Ed. (TESL), with Honors, at the Puerto Rico campus of the University of Phoenix. He was also awarded the degree of Doctor of Ministry in Marriage and Family Therapy (summa cum laude) from Southern Christian University (now Amridge University, US). He was subsequently registered as a Certified Family Therapist (CFT) by the National Credentialing Academy. His D. Min. thesis was published under the title ''Religious Orientation and Mental Health: Client Preference for the Inclusion of a Religious Module in the Counseling Process''. He later completed 2 research doctoral degrees, including a Ph.D. in English and Applied Linguistics at Rhodes University (ZA), and a Th.D. from the University of South Africa (ZA). His Ph.D. research, which was published under the title of ''The Role of Achievement Motivation on the Interlanguage Fossilization of Middle-aged English-as-a-second-language Learners'', is groundbreaking in that it presents evidence that interlanguage fossilization is not necessarily a permanent phenomenon. He was awarded a Th.D. in Practical Theology for his doctoral research on ''The Impact of Neptic-Psychotherapeutic Treatment on Self-Reported Depressive Symptomatology and Comorbid Anxiety'', which was published under the title of ''Orthodox Psychotherapy: A Study in the Treatment of Depression and Anxiety''.

On September 29, 2009, the Holy and Sacred Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate unanimously elected Dr. Vujisić as Bishop of Tralles. The Patriarchal announcement of his election was cited by the official election notice of the Archdiocese of Mexico, which was published worldwide. It references the growing number of Orthodox immigrants in Latin American countries in need of pastoral care, and states that the Bishop-elect would assume the responsibility of establishing and administering Pan-Orthodox communities wherever necessary. Regarding the news of Dr. Vujisić’s election to the episcopacy, Metropolitan HILARION (Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia) writes to Metropolitan ATHENGAORAS: “Throughout the years,…Bishop-Elect ANDREW has earned and enjoyed an unblemished reputation as being a model of true godliness and eminent piety, which is indeed evident to all those who meet him. His life has been marked by self-sacrifice and hard work….”. Metropolitan AMFILOHIJE (of the [[Serbian Orthodox Church]]) writes: “With joy have I received the news of the consecration of His Grace, Bishop-Elect ANDREW (Vujisić) to the Episcopacy by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople… We attest that His Grace has served with me in [[Montenegro]] and Australia, and has also served with other Bishops of the [[Serbian Orthodox Church]] on numerous occasions and that we know… [of his unassailable character] personally…”. On December 13, 2009, after personal discussions with His All Holiness, [[Patriarch BARTHOLOMEW I]], in Constantinople, Dr. Vujisić submitted a petition to the Holy Synod requesting that his consecration be temporarily postponed. His petition was accepted, but two weeks later, upon the insistence of Metropolitan ATHENAGORAS, he was elevated to the rank of Archiepiscopal Vicar of the General Secretariat for Pan-Orthodox Ministries. As Archiepiscopal Vicar, he was responsible for the reception into the Ecumenical Patriarchate of the 527,000 members of the former Orthodox Catholic Church of Guatemala in January 2010.
