Answer

==

Some units of the Church restricted opening prayers of Church meetings to men, but FAIR had been unable to find a written policy justifying or correcting this practice.

As of 2010, the Church's Handbook of Instructions in section 18.5 says, "Men and women may offer both opening and closing prayers in Church meetings."[1]
