lesschumras, you must not live in New York. If you do NY state jury duty, even just showing up and being dismissed, you’re exempt for 6 years.
Avi, your use of the term “clergy exemption” is the point of contention. It implies that clergy are automatically exempt. As CTL points out, there’s no such thing in CT and as iacisrmma points out, there’s no such thing in NY. I just checked out MA and NJ, and there’s no such thing there either. I leave it up to you to check out the other 46 states.
