While I can't say I disagree with what he says about children being strangers, I'm not sure I would have put it that way! But he is definitely correct that given the state of the world and its future, it takes faith to bring children into it.

That's a different take on hospitality
Meanwhile, married Christians bear children to witness to the church’s conviction that God has not given up and will not give up on God’s creation.
