I find it helpful that the pew edition of ELW includes the full text of the rites for Ash Wednesday and the Triduum (Three Days) of Holy Week. The general movement, since SBH, has been to put more of the occasional rites “in the hands of the people,” as it were. The reason the number of pages has expanded is that these services have moved from the desk or pastor’s or presider’s edition to the pew edition.
