According to statements from the BIC, and from Abdu'l-Baha, women will

administration of society, including religious institutions.

Where do they say anything about religious institutions?

"Women have equal rights with men upon earth; in religion and society
they are a very important element. As long as women are prevented from
attaining their highest possibilities, so long will men be unable to
achieve the greatness which might be theirs."

"Men must use their influence, particularly in the civil, political
and religious institutions they control, to promote the systematic
inclusion of women."

(Baha'i International Community, 1995 Sept 13, Role of Religion in
Promoting Advancement of Women)

I was hoping to see a response to this.
