The Book of Common Prayer

This week Chris talks about the Book of Common Prayer and its place as one of the formularies of the Anglican Church.  The Book of Common Prayer (1662) is considered the "standard" book of Anglicanism.  Why?  How does the BCP stand alongside the Articles, the Homilies, and the Ordinal and provide a cohesive picture of English Reformation theology relevant to today?
