In early 2004, Morrissey was sued by members of LEC for unpaid loans. It was reported that the loans were often made personally to Morrissey, and that the personal finances of herself, her husband Edward, and LEC had not been treated separately. In an e-mail to "Willamette Week", Steve Unger, Morrissey's attorney, wrote that the Morrisseys had committed commingling, and that "the finances of LEC, New Thought Broadcasting, Mary Morrissey and Ed Morrissey were treated not separately, but as a kind of 'financial family.'" By the summer of 2004, the sum total of LEC's debt was reported by "Willamette Week" and "The Oregonian" as totaling more than $20 million. Throughout the month of June, Mary Morrissey and Harry Morgan Moses conducted a series of talks called "Standing Firm While Your World is Shaking", for a "love offering" of $15 per class or $100 for the series. On July 14, 2004, LEC held "Calling Forth a Miracle: A Benefit for Living Enrichment Center with Very Special Guests" and declared 2004–2005 as "The Year of the Miracle".
