This is an interesting question. There are questions facing us today that have never had to be faced so it is inevitable that you here lots of different views. Perhaps a good way to start is to always go back to biblical sources, prayerfully, but look for general trends rather than necessarily just one stand alone verse, especially if it is about behaviour. For example whether women should have their heads covered in church. Some of the issues facing early church culture are not the ones facing us. Secondly is it a rational and loving thing to do or think. The Bible is about the formation of the church as Jesus body here on earth, therefore unity within the body is paramount. So another check is does this action help build up or injure the church I am in.

So being obedient to the church, serving it and loving others, and of course being faithful to ones own conscience is a pretty safe way to proceed.
