The loving-but-mistaken impulse to arrest the sacred encounter by building permanent architecture for temporary radiance. Named from Greek skēnē (σκηνή — booth, tent, tabernacle) + Sumerian me (received-ordinance). The devoted refusal-to-be-sent, received as gift-grade, matured out of by the return. The liturgical arc's hidden seventh member — the pivot between encounter and return.
