To the question of wearing it to a regular Church service, I think it would be likely to cast the wrong impression, or at least look "fancy dress". Unfortunately, for the most part full formal daywear is predominantly relegated to weddings and the races these days. A real shame, but there you have it.
I have a 30s (I think) stroller which is notch. Still looking for a peak. It does seem to me that notch was more acceptable and thus more common with this than on a dj. The only persons outside of vintage circles I can recall having seen wearing black lounge in modern times are all chauffeurs, undertakers, or freemasons (my office is just around the corner from some sort of major HQ for freemasonry). All exclusively sb, notch lapel jackets.
I've seen plenty of pictures suggesting that a notched lapel was equally correct to a peaked lapel, even in the UK. I would personally choose a peaked lapel or a DB jacket to bump up the formality though.
