Do Ethical Societies have a creed?
.
No. The philosophy of Ethical Culture respects the beliefs of each member. No one is bound by any community creed or dogma. Ethical Societies emphasize the importance of developing a clear personal philosophy that makes your life understandable and meaningful. Learning to benefit from a diversity of viewpoints is one of the challenges of membership. Members encourage each other to think freely and disagree without being disagreeable. "Deed Before Creed" is our motto. "If there is a single instinct in me that is stronger than any of the rest, it is the instinctive desire to be truthful with myself and others. I will not be self-deceived. I will look life straight in the eye."  - Felix Adler
