The degree

is a professional one and requires 36 semester hours of credit. The complete

course takes four years. Larisey began in 1998 and has completed three

of the required four years.

"A minister

must practice for five years and complete preparatory reading and study,"

Larisey said. "Through this study, I hope to grow in Christ, learn

how to be a better minister, and give more as a pastor in the community."

A Charleston,

S.C. native, Larisey was graduated from the University of the South and

Virginia Theological School in Alexandria, Va., where he earned his master

of divinity degree. A certified hospital chaplain, he completed the clinical

pastoral education program at Grady Hospital in Atlanta.

He has served

as pastor in several Episcopal churches in Tennessee and South Carolina,

and also in College Park, Ga. He was called to serve at St. Andrew's in

2000 as associate rector, working with the rector, Father Dan Brigham.
