Felix Adler's Creed and Deed, published by G. P. Putnam's Sons in 1877, is the primary founding text of the Ethical Culture movement, written by the movement's founder. Its authority as a primary source is direct: Adler's own statement of the movement's principles in his own words. It is a founder's programmatic statement rather than an independent historical or sociological account of Ethical Culture's later development, which needs a separate source.
