In 1908, Felix Adler, founder of the Ethical movement, published Essentials of Spirituality, one of his less-known books. Whatever one what one might assume from the title, it is Adler’s attempt to describe what the basic “spiritual practices” of a humanistic and ethical religion would be: how we would act if we were to ascribe worth to others, including in difficult situations. The book is dated in some ways, and quite relevant to modern life in others. It’s a good way to get a taste of our historical roots and see how we can take those ideas and make them relevant to our lives today.
