All but the first topic, "Christians and Jews in the MA," sound good. The first is amply covered by a couple of other societies (Academy of Jewish-Christian Studies, Medieval Encounters, Society for the Study of the Bible in the Middle Ages, Envoi, etc.), and if you were to sponsor one on this topic as well, it would irresistibly invite a schedule conflict!
I especially like the topics on relics and death and burial.
